This is a digital download screen print of the infamous modernist Architecture of the Barbican in London. I really wanted to capture the brutalist solid forms of the Architecture. I love making these prints because it gives me the opportunity to condense these designs down to their fundamentals and possibly reverse engineer the original designer's first design process. These prints are made by abstracting photographs and condensing them down to the key compositional items in the image, as well as condensing the light and shadow into only two shades. Please check my other listings for other colour variations! Top Tip: If you're getting this printed, I strongly recommend getting it professionally printed on a FINE ART GICLEE printer, this will yield the best results by far, this will guarantee you get the richness of colour and crisp lines you'd expect from a hand print. By purchasing this image you agree that I, Llewellyn Thomas, the creator of this image own the copyright, and that you will not re-produce this image for the purpose of re-sale, or edit the image from its original appearance when sold. This print will also be available as a physical Giclee printed work of art and also handmade limited edition screen prints. Check my other listings!

As the brief asks me to step away from typical art gallery branding, I have looked at the Barbican branding guidelines. Also, it's so I am aware of what should be included... It's really interesting to read and see what goes into the Barbican... to Joe Bloggs it's a black and white logo, but the set of restrictions and boundaries make it all the more exclusive. Even the specified font, families, grids, colours, layouts and formats! The presentation of the guidelines themselves is a
