A Gift of.

As a designer I began to observe the display system of the hall, such as the tone used to portray a certain mood and the typography used to deliver information to the audience. From there, the "Gift of" sign caught my attention. Underneath the label for what was being displayed was the "Gift of", directed to the person responsible for the museum. It is in capital letters, san serif, font size just a tad bit smaller than the label. I talked about this in my paper but it leads to the bigger idea of how we are used to information displayed. News and information is something everyone has the right to and, just as an observation, we have built a whole system around something as simple as information. We recognize the power of knowledge I guess. Everything is credited to somebody, as if the information wouldn't have existed without the person. In some cases it wouldn't have, but our possessive attitude on something that could benefit the world with its spread is intriguing.

I found that to have caught my attention and to be relevant to the ideas we are exploring in terms of collecting and displaying information.

Also... "a gift" for our obsessive nature in collecting. Anything and everything.
