Dambusters Exhibition - Grantham Museum
This was my first museum exhibition design. I was asked to design a collection of panels to accompany the exhibition of artefacts. These objects were related to the the famous Dambusters raid in World War 2. The exhibition is a 70 years anniversary showcase, which has a connection to Grantham, as the town hosted the command centre for the raid. The whole style of the exhibition was designed with the 1940s feel in mind. With the elements arranged like they had been placed down on a table in such a way to suggest 'planning' or 'operations'. I also decided that when printed large these would be on matt paper, to compliment that 40s wartime style. This also proved useful for viewing angles and minimal shine while placed in the cabinets in the "U" shape. Below you will see the logo I designed, inspired by the bomb itself as it would be seen side-on. The "V" shaped lines leading the eye towards the headline, as per the shape of the frame use to secure the bomb to the Lancaster.
