I isolated different parts of the images and used a light box to try and arrange them. I was finding it incredibly difficult to bring all these elements together in a cohesive way. Individually the images are really nice but i think they're so busy that they're just clashing with each other.
I tried lots and lots of iterations of my design, moving and placing things together in different ways but i just couldn't get it to work. I realised that i was going to have to remove some elements in order to get it to work.
Despite it being one of my Favorite parts i decided to remove the design by Victor Pasmore as i cant find any direct evidence that his designs were featured in the exhibition that happened in Leeds. I decided to take away the images of the town hall and museum, although the blitz is war related and rebuilding these was part of post war recovery, it wasn't directly linked to the festival of Britain. This simplified my design right down and there were only a few elements on the page making it really nice, open and free.
Because i now had so much open space, i decided to add some text, having fewer elements on the page made the design quite ambiguous and i felt like adding some text would be good in order to identify what it was about. Using the book i borrowed i was able to see some of the type used in the exhibition, because it wasn't named i had to find the typeface that most resembled it.
