Create visual impact?4)Create color sketches (i.e. change colors used in the project) see which look best5)When designing on a computer that colors may appear differently when printed6)Keep complimentary colors in mindComplimentary Colors – Those located directly across from each other on the color wheel: Red – GreenOrange – BlueViolet – YellowBalanceEqual distribution of weightHolds together, feels harmonious, looks unifiedImbalance can make us feel uncomfortableEmphasis ways to make something a focal point1)Make it the brightest2)Make is a different color3)Make it in a color if everything else is in black and white, or vice versa4)Make it go in a different direction5)Position it differently6)Give it a texture or a different texture than other elements7)Arrange all the elements to lead to it8)Make it a different shape than the other elements9)Isolate it10)Make it clear and the other elements hazy11)Reverse it12)Make it an opaque color and the other colors transparent13)Make it glossy and the other elements dullTo Establish a Visual Hierarchy1)Decide on the importance of the elements2)Use factors such as position, size, value, color and visual weight to make sure your audience sees these elements in the order of importance3)Create a flow of information from the most important element to the leastUnityThe elements in a design look as though they belong together. Viewer wants to see unity rather than unrelated parts.Correspondence: repeat an element (like color or shape), or establish a styleContinuity: create similarities in form (website, newsletter, etc. match)Variety: can have continuity but variety (i.e. the layout is the same, but you use a variation of the colors)Alignment: visual connections can be made between and among elements, shapes and objects when their edges or axes line up. The eye can pick up the relationship between the forms Flush left / ragged right: text that aligns to the left side and is uneven on the rightJustified: type that aligns on the left and right sidesFlush right / ragged left: text that aligns on the right side and is uneven on the left CenteredFlow: elements should be arranged so that the audience is led from one element to another through the design. Remember the ‘Z’ or backwards ‘S’ idea… your eyes scan a page in a ‘Z’ pattern so the elements create flow and movement.Typeface?Carefully consider the format; if type is designed for a poster is should be readable from a distance.?Design type in a visual hierarchy. People tend to read the biggest elements first; they tend to read headlines or titles first, subtitles or pull quotes second, then captions and finally text type.?Type arrangement or alignment should enhance readability.?Letter spacing, word spacing and line spacing all factor into readability, communication and expression. Never depend on automatic spacing.?Color should enhance the message and expression and not hinder readability.?Typography should be appropriate for the message and audience.?Rather than mixing fonts, consider using variations of one font (size, color, italics, bold, underline, etc.).?Avoid novelty or decorative typefacesFactors that enhance legibility1)Positive and negative space relationships2)Distinctiveness of individual letters3)Thoughtful letter, word and line spacing4)Strong value contrast between letters and background5)Word placement to encourage eye movement in the correct reading sequence.

Ambassador WorksheetCollections and ExhibitsExhibits and Visitor Experience:Car-Toon Creatures, Kustom Kars and Corvettes: the Art and Influence of Ed “Big Daddy” Roth featuring the story of Ed Roth, his creations, and a few of the automotive greats he has inspired, including Tom Peters will run through Bash 2021. The next exhibit to be installed will be Corvette Powered, which will focus on non-GM production vehicles (such as the Iso, Gordon-Keeble, and Avanti II), high-end Corvette powered hotrod and custom cars, and other unique vehicles powered by Corvette engines/drivelines.?? Complete renovations of both the Performance Gallery and the Design and Engineering Gallery were completed this year and have entirely new exhibits. The Performance Gallery has been developed to be a highly interactive experience for guests, allowing them to guide their way through the stories they want to hear/learn about.The “Entombed Corvette” that was donated at the end of 2019 now has a permanent exhibit in the Nostalgia Gallery. A full recreation of the tomb was created to exhibit the car at the NCM.? Collections:The work to move, reorganize, and reconcile our collections continues. Collections Building 1 (old FOP building) and Collections Building 2 (old Multi-Purpose Building) have been heavily focused on over the last few months. Numerous small and medium sized artifacts have been moved to CB1 already and the vehicles in CB2 are being rearranged with new Titan lifts in place to double stack the collection.? The Library & Archives continues to collect documents related to the history of Corvette. We are also culling the collection for items that should not be housed in our L&A and during the 25th Anniversary celebration we began selling books and manuals that do not fit the collection. The funds raised from these sales will go back into the Library & Archives budget to aid in preserving the collections we do house and possible acquisitions through purchase in the future. We continue to develop the collection and have added numerous artifacts over the last few years.Deaccession Process:? In 2019 the Collections and Exhibits Department led by the Director of Collections began the process of deaccessioning artifacts from the collections of the National Corvette Museum. This has, to date, included two Corvettes. This is in no way a process that any Museum takes lightly. The decision to remove objects from a collection is a slow process that involves numerous discussions within not only the Department, but also with the Collections Committee. ??The deaccession process has numerous steps to ensure that the objects being removed from the collection do not fit the needs of the Museum, are duplicates, or cannot be properly cared for by the Museum. We also make this process completely transparent, as required by AAM ethical guidelines. ??Any vehicle or other object removed from the collection of the Museum is also restricted in the way in which it can be sold. The most common option to sell the vehicle/object from the Museum is to put it through an auction, this will ensure the object reaches fair market value. Deaccessioned objects can also be used in trade for other acquisitions that are more fitting for the collection or can be transferred to another non-profit entity. Whatever method of disposal is chosen for the object, it is fully documented within the deaccession file for that item and kept on permanent record at the Museum. Education ProgramsThe NCM is actively building our reputation as an educational facility. Below are a few of the programs we offer and ways you can be involved:MEchanics$20 per student (includes admission)A two-hour class where students of all ages will learn basic car care from changing a tire, to checking fluids in an engine, changing a headlight bulb and more. Special Emphasis ToursGroup tour rates applyCareer Awareness – During this tour, students meet with our professional staff and discuss their career, requirements and job opportunities. Musical Performance- We provide an outlet for choirs, bands and ensembles to not only take a tour of the NCM, but to showcase their musical talents Scouts- Includes Museum tour and scavenger hunt with a “fun” patch for completing it.Classroom OutreachThe Museum takes to the road to visit the classroom in one of our NCM Corvettes. We speak about the NCM and teach students how to be safe passengers with our “Backseat Driver” program. Teacher ResourcesWe provide not only automotive related activities for the classroom, but also lesson plans for our always changing exhibits and displays. Ways You Can HelpFund A Field Trip It’s become increasingly difficult for schools to fund learning opportunities outside the classroom. With your help, it is possible to send students on a field trip to the Museum that cannot afford to take fieldtrips. Your contribution goes towards admission, boxed lunches and/or transportation. $300 funds a single classroom.? $1,000 funds an entire grade. ? Hot Wheels/Matchbox CarsThe future of Corvette starts with the kids.? What better way to spark that excitement than to send kids home with a toy Corvette?? Whether you donate a few or a hundred, we appreciate them all, and we make sure they get in the hands of excited children to take home from their day at the NCM.0401955The Corvette Store offers an ever-changing variety of Corvette apparel, car care, gifts and much more.

Development and DonationsWays to Support the National Corvette MuseumThe National Corvette Museum is a not-for-profit foundation under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, which means that we are eligible to accept tax deductible donations. We provide a donation receipt via letter or email for every cash gift made.Cash GiftsA financial contribution to the Museum can be made at any time. Gifts can be designated to a project or department at the museum, or they can simply provide support for the greatest area of need at the Museum. Please contact Amy Hardin, Development and Sponsorship Manager to make a gift to the Museum. Additionally, twice a year we mail a solicitation letter to our current and former donors and our current members. This letter asks for continued support for the Museum. Sometimes our plea is for a specific project and sometimes for general support for upkeep of the Museum. We offer commemorative gifts with specific levels of donations. Multi-year Giving CommitmentsA multi-year, major gift pledge agreement can also be discussed. Multi-year commitments allow the Museum to predictably plan for future revenue streams that will lead to upgrades and enhancements, while allowing you to give at a level and on a schedule that fits your needs and preferences. Gifts can be designated to a particular project or department at the museum, or they can simply provide support for the greatest area of need at the Museum. Dedication OpportunitiesWe offer many opportunities to recognize or commemorate a special occasion or person. Donations for these opportunities are also tax deductible.Flint Wall Donations – Several years ago the Flint, Michigan Plant was torn down, and General Motors saved the bricks for us to use for fundraising. Our facilities team built three walls by the Assembly Plant display, and enthusiasts may make a $250 donation to place a name on one of these bricks. The first two walls are full, and we have several bricks named on the third and final wall. Chevrolet Theater Seats – The seats in our Chevrolet Theater are available for naming for a $1,000 donation. Club Parking Lot Banners – Clubs may sponsor banners in the Museum’s parking lot for a $500 donation. These are changed out each year, and clubs are notified via eNews when it is time to change the banners out.

The NCM Development and Sponsorship Manager will be in communication with Club Ambassadors as opportunities arise that may interest your Club and MembersRequired Minimum DistributionsFor Museum members and supporters who have reached the age of 70.5 years, there is an opportunity to make a gift to the Museum without taking all or part of your required minimum distribution as income.
