OUGD601 - Context of Practice 3 - 'Odyssey' Attraction queue initial ideas

I have decided just to limit the re-brand to the queue area, so that the task would not be affected by my lack of engineering skills. It would also concern graphic design a lot more, as the queue area can be treated like an exhibition or environmental graphics.

I decided to go and visit their museum to find out the pros and cons of the pre-planned community to fully understand why Epcot-as-a-city may have been shelved in comparison.
