When looking through the images, im finding that parts of the exhibition design are really cool and quite modern for the time and its something i really wanted to look into. I took out a book from the library on the festival of Britain to try and see if i could find any of the designers names or the people who designed the exhibition but the Festival of Britain was so large and the exhibition in Leeds was just as small part of that so it was really difficult to find the individual designers who worked on that specific exhibition.
I wanted to represent how far Britain has come since then and celebrate Britains ability ti recover so i picked out some images that i felt represent that.
the first two are buildings that were destroyed during the blitz, the town hall and the museum.
Secondly, i found an image that was on the wall of the exhibition. To me it represents the progression and talent of British artists but also the knowledge that we have;

Through my research i found one artist, Victor Pasmore, who made really nice interesting patterns that i think visually will be really nice and work well on the print.

the last image is inspired by the festival pattern group. These patterns were based on crystalline structures that were discovered through x-ray imaging in Leeds.
