rock the boat
publicity material for ‘rock the boat – an exhibition of mechanical sculptures at scarborough art gallery.
as with the bawden and ravilious design this is a leaflet that opens out into a poster but with something of a challenge as the only images of sufficient quality we had to use were of half-finished sculptures. so for the main image we drew an illustration of the ‘mad cow minotaur’ that was to feature in the exhibition.
the print uses metallic silver ink to simulate the metal finish of some of the sculptures and we were able to follow this through on the posters outside the gallery and the information panels inside the exhibition. given the main image, the extra ‘o’s in ‘mooving’ seemed a highly appropriate mis-spelling to add to the design.
the leaflet also features a quick activity for younger visitors which we devised – spotting some of the components from which the sculptures are made [shown below]. as well as the minotaur the exhibition includes a moo-ing cow, two boats, a fascinating take on conception and a recently-delivered spinning teacup. the exhibition runs until sunday 20 september.
