Taking inspiration from the WW2 40s poster 'Dig for Victory Now' we decided it would be fitting to gather a trug full of sewing and second world war objects to recreate the original poster with a stitch twist!
Easier said than done......
First find a trug, then fill with objects that represent WW2 and stitch, however the objects need to instantly recognizable and represent all aspects of the exhibition.
Second arrange so that trug and contents appear placed, without thought but so that every object is clear in the frame.
Third find the right angle for the photograph without obscuring the contents, now this is where I found a problem whenever I had the camera in the right position the handle obscured the gas mask. After much playing and rearranging I made the decision the angle of trug would have to be slightly different.
Then all over to the graphic designer to make it look like the original hand illustrated poster.
