Rachel and I agreed to work together almost immediately. She is a Star Trek veteran and I was as new as you could be. We found that difference in experience, coupled with our other skills, complimented each other too well not to take advantage of collaborating.

We toured the MoPOP and were introduced to key concepts of exhibit design. We then researched the Star Trek universe in search of interesting data points to suggest for the timeline. We set out on a straightforward design. Something technical but decipherable. The most important items being visible from a distance, the detailed items smaller and accessible for people to read and enjoy. We always kept the size of the project in mind as none of us had worked on something to this scale before. We drafted two timeline concepts to present to the panel of MoPOP designers. Printing them at 1 inch to a foot scale, full color. As well as plotting a full scale test strip in black and white.
