Exposition research (part II) - McManus galleries [part 2]

What?
This is the second of my four part research piece investigating the works on exhibition at the McManus galleries of Dundee. This part will be focusing on labelling exhibited works.
Why?
To gather information on how I will be labelling and presenting the works I have selected for the end of year showcase.

Below, I have uploaded some of the images I captured on my visit to the McManus, how the exhibited pieces have been labelled, focusing on any necessary positives or negatives and building conclusive results based on these findings.

 Exhibits:
These labels are simple, vertically superior and professional in appearance. This form of labelling is efficient for saving space and non-distracting in terms of focus.

 This form of labelling is simple, horizontal based and neat in presentation. This brings much more of a professional touch, however, it does take up more space intended for central exhibited pieces.

This form of labelling is similar to the first, however, it uses contrasting colours and alternating text sizes to convey a professional standard to whomever may view it.


Conclusion:
Understanding labels will enable me to highlight my own exhibited works to the highest professional standard, taking into account space, colour, font and text size to ensure those observing my honours project will have full clarity and no difficulty when viewing my completed pieces.
