Located in Blenheim, New Zealand, The Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre is a world-class museum that showcases WW1 and WW2 aircraft and artefacts. To drive more awareness and income, they decided to allow people to hire their incredible spaces for functions outside of normal museum hours.
The spaces and displays were engaging and diverse, but they had no unifying look and feel or flow through the museum. That made it hard for people to envisage it as a space suitable for functions. To combat this, a consistent illustration style and photography treatment were developed to give the spaces a more cohesive feel and flow. Motion effects incorporated into the illustrations also helped highlight the museum as a fun, interactive, and dynamic space to host a truly unique function.
The museum is now consistently booked for functions and has even hosted several high-profile international events.
