Beverly Serrell's Big Idea eBook
I recently had the opportunity to chat with Beverly Serrell about the release of her new "Big Idea" eBook. You can find the video of our conversation on YouTube or embedded below. In the 20-minute video, Beverly discusses at length her reasons for making the eBook, the process, and many challenges of working in the digital realm.
The eBook is about the “Big Idea,” a tool for exhibit developers, whether you've been in the museum exhibition business for a long time or you are part of the new generation. With a good big idea, the development of an exhibition will go more smoothly from the start.
Beverly worked with Paul Rodriguez to create an eBook packed with 37 pages of colorful dynamic content, offering rationales, definitions, and examples, plus exercises and discussions. (And lemurs!)
