Before we started designing how the exhibition would look, we got design agency Starfish to come up a poster and leaflet campaign. Staying with the personal story theme, we took photos of a serving Royal Marine and one of the relatives Ruth who is the niece of one of featured stories Leslie Cannons, who died when HMS Barham sank in 1941.
On the day of the photo shoot, I headed over to Starfish, where they had created an intimate photography studio. The photo shoots needed to capture the emotion of the stories and the subject, so whilst the photographer was shooting he got Ruth to tell her memories her uncle Leslie and how his death had affected his family.
On the way back to the Museum, I stopped off with Ruth to find her uncle Leslie’s name on the Portsmouth Naval Memorial.
We were really pleased when the designs came back and we now have a great leaflet and poster to advertise the exhibition. Let us know what you think of the poster!
