BS: You mentioned the colour scheme. Do you think that that works or not or would you choose something different.

DB: Um I think it works, it depends on the image you're trying to get across. It works with the sort of visitors we get because a lot of the visitors we get, I think - I think one of the things you tend to notice, at the weekend you tend to get people with younger children coming along, and that's the sort of thing that they will - children react ( ). If you wanted to try and encourage, you - if you try, if you want to say encourage - a certain age range you might choose a different scheme, a different design. But then you're actually - narrowing your market down specialising and going for, the sort of teenage groups. You may not even get along at all anyway so. But I think, it does actually work for the - sort of people that they want to get along at the moment.

((takes break to clear throat)).

DB: So I think the colour scheme is fine but I think it does portray a certain image. And by using the colour scheme that actually does give people a certain view of what - they expect from from the exhibits. You know so - I think that I think the colour scheme would actually affect the way that people may view the place on an initial, initially, before - they actually get involved in something and the colour scheme - suggests you know, I don't know because - there's probably no research been done on it there probably has but I don't know about it. It might actually put some people off by looking at it and think "well it's for children" sort of thing. So it might portray that image.
