Developer Tools Poster

A poster which visually communicates the composition of and execution of an installation.

Context

We needed a way to visually illustrate the composition and execution of a setup; this was something our employees take for granted, but many customers do not fully understand.

Solution

Our team set out to illustrate setup technology in a way that would make it clear to any user, and to create a piece that customers would want to keep. The top half of the poster illustrates the structure of a setup during design time, and the bottom half shows what happens when a setup is running.

What I Like

This poster is so beautiful and dense with information. I love how the dialog box that the end-user sees is linked to an InstallScript or Windows Installer event (bottom half of the poster).

What I'd Change

I would like to see even greater linkage between the structure and the execution portions. However, adding that information might make the poster too complex.
