Murals

This is a thumbnail of the image that went to print to show to a client, pitching towards the development of a mural at the Mckellar Centre a few days ago. We were to design a mural which depicted 50 years of the Mckellar Centre in some way. I decided to theme the mural around growth, specifically in terms of its' development in terms of buildings and the people whom made it what it is. As can be seen, the mural is sectioned up in to ten year periods, with the buildings in the background roughly representing the time periods shown. in the foreground, different leaders of the institution are shown along with their name, so that a continuous stewardship is implied.

The image was, as you might expect for a pitch, made mostly with placeholders with an eye to overall composition rather than specifics, but nevertheless a couple of glaring flaws stand out to my eye: The year '79 is missing, and the colours used in the duotone are too dark to really work thematically as an uplifting piece. furthermore, in retrospect the use of stormclouds in the background was something of an oversight.
