Leigh984, The creative portfolio of Leigh Spencer

I was asked to create a design to feature on a cake and on social media etc celebrating the BBC Radio Leicester Arts show The A Word`s first year on air. The design needed to be simple and easily reproduced with clarity on the icing of the cake so the presenters faces where stylized. The A Word logo created previously by myself was adapted to fit the design and has gained some musical notes to highlight the coverage of new music by local artists that the A Word is also known for.    The end result a cake with my design on top for everyone to enjoy.  Bonus: BBC Presenters. Geeta Pendse And Andy Pierce (AKA: Andy P The Soul Man) hold a card I made wishing the A Word a happy 1st Anniversary on air.

MODS Shaping a generation exhibition at Leicester`s New Walk Museum tells the story of the MOD Scene in 1960`s Leicester & Nottingham including exclusive first-hand eye witness accounts, archive material and unpublished images. The exhibition also celebrates the 40th anniversary of the release of The Who’s cult Mod film, Quadrophenia, and includes items and original 1960’s clothing as seen in the film which has been provided by designer Roger K Burton. My film takes viewers on a tour of the exhibition and some of its highlights, look out for scooters from Leicestershire Alliance Scooter Club and some groovy clothing from the era on the recreated Ready Steady Go stage.

As part of the National Galleries "Coming Home" project well known portraits are "loaned" to the place most linked to the person featured, in this case King Richard III whose remains where famously found under a car park in the city of Leicester in 2012. The (surprisingly small) late 16th century portrait is hung at the New Walk Museum in the city as the centerpiece of an exhibition exploring the story of the King, the discovery of his remains and what these reveal about his life and death. The exhibition in partnership with Leicester Cathedral and The King Richard Visitor Center runs until September 22nd 2019 and is well worth a visit to see this historic portrait in person.
