Meeting with Lough Gur and research

I went to Lough Gur today to speak to Kate Harrold, the manager of Lough Gur Development. She is really enthusiastic about my project, as they are at the moment refurbishing the heritage centre and making a new website, and she feels that my work ties in well with that. It should be of great benefit to me to be working on this at this particular point in time, as I will be able to see the work Tandem Design are doing on creating an interpretive centre using the latest interactive media.

I have created a very basic mockup of what I expect the 3D museum to look like. The colour scheme will change, as will the design, but it's useful to get some of the ideas onto paper right now.

 

Unfortunately, the objects to be displayed in the new Lough Gur heritage centre are in storage at the moment and must be taken out to be photographed. I will have to wait until they are doing this for their own new website, which could take up to a month. This is a long time for me to wait. However, I can start modelling the museum itself, as well as the surrounding area which I have already photographed, and Kate let me borrow a book about Lough Gur so there may be some useful images and information there that I can work with.
