Summary:

The client team at Chester Zoo approached Unusual Projects to develop a playful and informative outdoor interactive that would grab visitors’ attention and provide them with interesting facts relating to deforestation in Africa, and the impact this was having on several different populations of Chimpanzee.

I was tasked with designing an interactive that would be be tough and weather resistant, using materials and construction techniques that would help to ensure robustness and longevity outdoors. The interactive features three main elements: A series of ‘2.5D’ graphic elements that pop-out from the panel, a set of four top-trumps style spinners that have factoids on different Chimpanzees, and a pair of rotating pledge wheels that reveal actions visitors can take to have an impact on the situation.
