Branding and Logo project with Nottingham Castle's young people's group.



Have been working with Nottingham Castle's young people group to come up with a name and logo for the group. After a lot of thought about what kind of a group we wanted to be and time spent looking at examples for names and branding the group came up with the name "Illuminate", Nottingham Museum's Young Arts Collective. Illluminate was choosen as the group liked the idea that we would be sheding new light onto the Museum's collection of artefacts and looking at presenting and showing objects in a new way.
We worked with Simon Helliwell from Designsource on the logo. He led the group through a number of creative thinking processes to come up with ideas and designs.

Brookfield Hangings






Some observational drawings by year 1 and 2 at Brookfield. Half the group posed as characters in the story (in this case the people of Nineva from "Jonah and the Whale" and the sons of King Sagara from "The Birth of the Ganges") whilst the other half drew them. They captured some great expressions!
The drawings will form part of a series of hangings depicting religious stories for the school's yurt.
