Leigh984, The creative portfolio of Leigh Spencer

2010 is the 125th anniversary of Blackpool's famous electric trams and a number of events have been taking place along the famous seafront to celebrate above are a selection of my photos from the depot open day event of Sunday 26th. To find out more about the event visit: http://www.blackpooltramevents.co.uk/

Creative Boom (a creative industry online magazine) have just had a big re-design of both their main site and regional hubs and I designed the banner for the Leicester hub. As Leicester is well known for its past as a major player in the material manufacturing business I`ve based the design around a swirl of cloth framing the instantly recognisable Leicester landmark The Clock Tower. To see my design and visit this exelent industry website go to this link http://www.creativeboom.co.uk/leicester/

Taken aboard the oporto tram as it visited Blackpool Rigby Road tram depot open day on the 125 anniversary of the Blackpool tramway. I shot from a low angle to truly show the amazingly detailed interior of this portuguese tram and applied a high contrast mono filter to give the image a aproriate aged feel.

Spotlight: Cosby Victory Show, Todays spotlight video was filmed at 2007`s victory show in Cosby. The Victory Show (which was unfortunately cancelled this year) is a two day extravaganza of 1940`s wartime re-enactments. The event features a battle scene played out in a field with explosives and true to period vehicles putting on a display that wouldnt look out of place in a hollywood action movie !. My video is in the style of the old cinema newsreels of this period & features action from the battle scene. Let`s hope this event will return next year bigger and better than ever before !

Next Game poster for the Leicester Riders Basketball Team designed by me these A2 posters are displayed at every home game to inform fans of the next home fixture.   The paint splatter style is part of a wider re-brand of the team I have developed for use across all media related to the team.  

Ok I admit it I support Leicester City football club !, when they built the walkers stadium I had the chance to have a brick engraved with my name built into the foundation wall this is that brick !.

BNI Car Wash for Menphys A poster designed by me for the BNI car wash in aid of the Menphys Sketchly Hill nursery taking place in Hinckley ( Leicestershire ) On the 5th September 2010 I used an aqua blue colour scheme to surgest water and soap bubbles inside and behind the lettering which is written in a deliberately simple bold impact typeface.

Sculpture In The Garden features images taken by me during a visit to the annual Sculpture exhibition at the University of Leicester`s Botanical Gardens. The video is just a taste of the full exhibition which has the theme 'Heart Head and Hands' and features 63 pieces by 42 artists from around the world it is well worth a visit. Personal highlights for me included some bamboo canes with parcel tags tied to them featuring messages from various people and a piece based on connections in the brain.

Founded in 1985 as an event to keep the cultural traditions of the Caribbean alive the Leicester Caribbean Carnival is an annual riot of colour and music that twists, shakes and parties its way through the streets of Leicester every year this is my video of this years event.
