These are leaflet/flyer designs for the Young Person's Group at Milton Keynes Gallery, which were done as a commission.
I originally offered two designs, one with the '3' countdown, and one with the butterfly.
The YPG went with the countdown version, and asked me to develop it, experiment with colours, alter the text, add logos, etc. After much discussion, the three countdown pieces above are the final choices I sent them. I personally preferred the first (black and white) version, or the second (black, white and red) version. The YPG, however, seemed to prefer the third option up until this point.
However it turned out that some members of the group had not been present during these decisions, and so after a big meeting they asked me to return to the original butterfly design, use the new text, logos, etc, and simply darken the background. And sort it out and get it looking good, all on the night before it was due to go to print...
So after tonnes of work and edits and re-edits on the countdown version, they went for a slightly-reworked version of the other design... go figure!
I prefer the butterfly one anyway
