Menphys Open Gardens 2011

Poster design for Menphys Open Gardens 2011, Designed to promote an open garden event hosted by Her Grace, The Dowager Duchess of Rutland for the Leicester based charity menphys at Belvoir Lodge. The design incorporates the event information into the middle of a pair of ornate iron garden gates which have been opened to invite the viewer into both the poster & the garden. The typeface is of a bold style reminiscent of classic movie posters and is fully contained within the rectangular shape of the gate opening making for a design where the text becomes the most prominent feature of the piece. The poster also continues the theme of Ladybirds and Birds as featured on the previous poster for the oadby and wigston charity show, How many can you spot ?

Turbine - The Low Spinney Wind Farm

Turbine - The Low Spinney Wind Farm is a short film about the newly created wind farm situated between the villages of Ashby Magna, Gilmorton and Dunton Bassett, near Lutterworth in Leicestershire. The wind farm is expected to be fully operational by mid-summer. Filmed at sunset the silhouettes of the 125m high turbines look strange but also perfectly in tune with their natural surroundings. click below to see stills taken at the farm
