Queen Elizabeth II opening the Royal Manuscripts exhibition.
large format, external signage. The 12 metre, curvy shop window (always a headache for position and sight lines).
Royal Manuscripts book. I designed the cover as a reworking of the campaign poster.
The Challenge:
To create the most stunning campaign poster for a unique and world class exhibition of British Royal Manuscripts. The collection was jaw dropping but how to make it look unique?
The Result:
After long conversations and deep diving with the curatorial team into the collection items I proposed several options, this image of Jesus standing above of a vivid blue sky made entirely of Angels was startling, and as we discovered had never been seen by the public. The central composition made it perfect for a campaigning across different sized media as it cropped so well. I specified gold foil wherever budget would allow so the entire campaign and building dressing was vivid blue and gold. Not at all what one expects from century old manuscript exhibition.
