Designing
interpretive panels can be a tricky business. Will visitors read
them? If they do, will they retain what they've read? Or will
they just walk past without a second glance? As more panels appear
in more places and become an increasingly common sight, there
is perhaps more danger of people ignoring them.
When the Valley
of Visions project commissioned Clarity to produce a panel for
Leybourne Lakes Country Park, it quickly became apparent they
were looking for something a bit special - something arresting
and eye-catching that visitors would be hard pressed to walk past.
And yet it had to be in keeping with the site.
Clarity have
been working with one of our associates to develop a sculptural
carved timber structure depicting human activities at the site
like fishing and sailing, and wildlife such as mute swans, water
voles and dragonflies. We hope it will lure in visitors as well
as providing a tactile experience for those with visual impairments.
