What does stage decoration mean?

舞臺設計意味著什麼？

Decoration is a major enrichment of your stage.

它意味著讓你的舞臺會更具吸引力。

You might start with your event name and some lights.

首先，你可以從活動名稱和燈光開始。

Decoration is a way to communicate your event.

要知道，舞臺設計也是 觀眾跟你們互動的一部分。

You need to know who you are communicating to, who your audience is.

你要確定她／他們是誰？ 誰是你的目標觀眾？

The design of your stage follows two pillars.

你的舞臺設計可以按兩個基本原則。

One is identity. The other one is the balance.

第一是貫切，另外一個是保持平衡。

The identity is how you translate the theme into a visual stage design.

貫切的意思是 怎麼把主題轉化成視覺上的舞臺設計，

So, why not add further elements to the stage?

你不可能把所有的東西都放上去。

If your theme is about nature, put in some plants.

如果你的主題是自然，那可以放一些植物，

Or it can also be abstract.

或者是抽象的東西。

For instance, you could throw ornaments or illustrations.

舉例，妳／你可以放一些 相關的裝飾品或插圖。

Go creative!

發揮你的創意！

The other important thing is to keep the balance.

另一件同樣重要的是要注意平衡，

The stage should not take over the show.

舞臺決不能蓋過你的活動，

It should support the event, not make the event.

它是你的綠葉， 而不是另一朵更美的玫瑰。

All elements must have a purpose.

請記著，所有舞台上的裝飾都是有目的的。

The speaker must be the hero on stage.

演講嘉賓一定是台上唯一的主角。

It might not be necessary to spend big budget here,

你不需要花費很多預算在這方面，

but still, it is important to calculate this on your event plans.

不過，最好還是把它放進你的計劃當中。

Be aware of safety issues.

還有，請注意安全問題。

Nothing should fall down or even hit the speaker or someone in the audience

你的舞臺必須要穩固，

There might be some people walking by, and touching things.

小心可能會有東西會掉下來砸到人。

They should not be fragile.

也要注意會有人經過，而且會去碰東西。

Maybe, there is someone in your volunteer team who can design the stage.

你的團隊中可能有人可以幫忙做設計。

Maybe, you need to hire a designer for that.

或許，你需要去聘請一位設計師。

Or just do it on your own.

其實嘛，你也可以自己來弄。
