Westminster Abbey
In conjunction with the press department we set about the idea of how to create a 21stcentury exhibition celebrating the long history of the current Queen Elizabeth II and the Abbey in a series of key photographic images. Set in the wing of the Chapel House, which dates from the 1250s and are dominated by huge stain glass windows.
The selected solution was to design the whole display onto three simple and clean large illuminated blocks, with stretched fabric to the face, which would contain all the text copy, full pictorial credits and information, plus the key images, all laid out in their final position. Repeat this three times with no room for error and you have a very modern solution that can compete with it’s historical setting.
It was such a great successful with the public that we were asked to do it all again, to mark the Anniversary of the Queen’s Coronation. So we had to develop the idea further and include even more element into the printed graphics. With over one million people visiting the two exhibitions and with a private audience at the Abbey, this project holds a special place in our history.
