Wellcome Image Awards 2014

I'd previously learnt about the 'Wellcome Image Awards 2014' exhibition being held in the Museum of Science andIndustry by chance when accidentally stumbling upon an advertising bilboard for it. Today I decided to check it out because with the statement "Come closer and celebrate the best in science imaging", on the poster, it seemed extremely relavent to the microbe exploration part of my project.

The exhibition was very interesting, I especially appreciated the wiring of the brain image and the bat, although these had nothing to do with my microbe intentions, they propose an intriguing way to see something in a way we haven't seen it before. The neon, bright colours of the images came together well, and the exhibition space was presented in a simple, minimalist way which I think complemented the extreme images because too many bright images in a crowded area wouldn't have had as much of an impression to what these spread out images had. I was interested in finding out more information about each individual image so was grateful to have information boards located under each image. Although I feel as though this trip hasn't aided my project further, it has given me some presentation tips when it comes to displaying my work.
