Using the space is very important, there are two walls that stick out into the room to dived the spaces, however a positive about this space is that there is more wall space for art work to be displayed on. This just shows that you can use any space. You just have to use the unique, quirky elements to make a great exhibition.

Colour’s choices for a Classic Exhibition
Colour is an important element to an exhibition. The use of white is mostly used within wall colour, mainly with modern exhibitions. Where as classic exhibitions use regal colours on the wall, these examples below are from the National Gallery in London. Colour is not only used for the walls but also within the publications for the exhibitions and advertising, so when you are producing your exhibtions think about the ways that you can us these colours.

Publications are important tools within an exhibition. Creating a leaflet or guide for the exhibition will not only give the audience with background knowledge and images of the art work them selves but also provide them with something to take home and keep enjoying. The more information you provide the more intense the audience can be.
Here is a default layout for a leaflet. There are areas for text as well as images and this layout works no matter the content like the next diagram show.
Within this kit box there is a large printed out default leaflet. All you have to do is place your images and text within the boxes provided and scan or photocopy.

How to create a poster for a Classic exhibition.
Advertising your exhibition is vital to the success of it. There are many ways to do this and creating posters are one of them. For a Classic exhibition poster there is a certain difference from a Modern poster. A lot of the text is straight. The use of neutral colours and simple shapes.
The typefaces chosen are often modern such fonts as Rochwell, Times New Roman, Helvetica. Whitman OT is a type suggested for Classic posters and publications. All of these typefaces are used to create a certain look and entice a certain type of person to the exhibition, it is used to create a youth, hip look.
The choice of colours are interesting, bright, bold, strong colours are such as pastel colours, greys, pinks, blues yellow, black, white.
When creating your poster to advertise your exhibition think about the colours that you would like to continue through the exhibition something that can link the theme to the poster. The typeface chosen also represent your feel to the exhibition.
