The MtM Word of the Day

“Jargon” — the specialized vocabulary of a field. Jargon can bring us together, or keep us apart. Words we have in common are great. Words we don’t all have the same definition for, less so.

So there’s a new feature with every MtM email: The MtM Word of the Day. It’s a short, accessible, accurate definition of one word from the world of exhibition planning and design.

They’re drawn from textbooks for the field, dictionaries from related disciplines, and an MtM-only list — all with all-new MtM definitions.

Here’s a sample (and you’ll find one more in the normal WotD spot at the bottom):

bezel. The border of a monitor; the space between the outside edge of the glass and the outside edge of the housing. All screens are rectangular, glass, and have a bezel. Monitors used to create one big picture have very thin bezels, but they can’t have no bezel.

Here’s the thing:
Jargon can bring us together, or keep us apart.

Announcing the MtM Word of the Day.

Warmly,
Jonathan

MtM Word of the Day:

design day. The average peak visitation day. Attractions should be sized for the number of visitors averaged across high-visitation days (never the single highest day, or your space will feel empty every other day). Not to be confused with International Design Day, which is apparently April 27th. Who knew?
