We had a crit really on into this project and i think this was really beneficial to me because talking about really loose ideas gave me the oppertunity to see which ones people would be interest in and help guide my direction.
At this point I have narrowed down my options to;
The festival of Britain
Love Parade
Leeds West Indian Carnival
During my crit i talked about why i had chosen each one.
The festival of britain;
This was a travelling exhibition that went across the whole of the uk after the second world war to promote post war recovery and Britain contributions to all kinds of industries. The reason i chose this is that in some way it feel quite relevant. After brexit a lot of people are feeling quite bleak and its a chance to remind people that despite everything the UK is a great country that produces amazing
things.
Love Parade:
Love parade was a large music festival that was only held in the UK when it visited Leeds in 2000's Due to the music and festival aesthetic i feel like this could be a good way to go visually.
Leeds west Indian carnival:
This the longest running west Indian carnival and its coming up to its 50th anniversary. Due to the nature of this carnival i think it would be really interesting colour and design wise and have a lot of history to draw upon.
I talked about my ideas and my crit group was very interested in the festival of Britain because it was something that no one had heard of and for the fact that it does seem quite relevant to the current events. As it was an exhibition and it was quite well documented, there would be a lot of visuals and history to draw upon and would fit the celebratory nature of the brief. I was quite glad that the crit went this way because i realised that i was leaning quite heavily to that idea anyway.
