MEPC Brief

The MEPC recently offered a live brief to commission 4 bodies of artwork for the reception area of the newly finished 5 Wellington Place. Each body of work is intended to fit comfortably on the wall in reception but could be made up of one piece or several pieces.

The brief offers an opportunity to practice and demonstrate new found knowledge on poster design.

What lends the brief to poster design is the architecture of the building. The clean straight lines, ordered layout of the windows and modern facade are reminiscent of a grid system. These aspects can be used in composing the posters content and to celebrate the buildings design through the posters. 

These are some initial sketches of the possible grid system for the poster.

Finding a concept however behind the poster will have to be developed. Whether it will be purely an aesthetic one or one that is intended to communicate something.
