Wellington Place - Presentation Boards/Prep

As it is only a five minute informal presentation, I have only produced three boards to explain my alternative proposed outcomes as it will have to be explain as quickly and to the point is possible.

Here the clients can clearly see the roughs/composition of my new ideas, how they will look when they are coloured and texture/shape is added and the location/inspiration for each piece.

There is not much writing as to not distract from me talking. I will leave hard copies of the boards with them so they can look more if they wish; the writing is more for when I am not there to explain the most basic bits.

NOTES TO BRING UP:

CONCEPT - focusing on the modern and historical business centres of Leeds, and how they still exist together to create a unique city of business and industry still.

The Corn Exchange was where in the mid-1800's corn was brought by farmers and valued and purchased by rich men. It was a central hub where people came from miles around to do business and get the best deals they could.

The Calls are situated on the Leeds/Liverpool canal, which would transport all sorts of goods from the Liverpool docks to Leeds. Alongside the canal is the amazing industrial warehouse buildings which have been renovated and turned into modern centres for business - bars, galleries, event spaces and more. 

The Lifting Tower would lift goods from trains into other carriages to take the goods further elsewhere or into the city/surrounding area. The tower has been long forgotten but Wellington Place, a modern centre of business, has allowed it to be rediscovered and protected. 

All three areas/buildings are beautiful and I love the architecture - this is where I took inspiration for the geometric shapes and lines. 

Screenprint - analogue textures and bright colours will contrast nicely with the surrounding reception area, yet the contemporary illustrative style will work well with the modern and minimal interior. I've never met anyone who doesn't like a good screenprint!
