Keita Watanabe Lab exhibition "Toward Ultra-Light Industry"

For the lab's exhibition built around a talk event, I led the overall planning, spatial design and creative direction.

Past lab exhibitions centred on demos. They conveyed what each system did, but not the background or how the research aims to contribute to society. This time the exhibition was built around talks, putting the emphasis on explaining where the research stands. I handled the overall direction and operation, the venue design, choosing services, the website design and the publicity. 148 people came, and visitors rated it 4.8/5 (48 responses).

Student talks on stage.<br />Each talk opened with its title in motion graphics, like walk-on music, giving the event a consistent feel and clear breaks that kept the pace up.
