The Circus! Show of Shows exhibition celebrated 250 years of circus in Great Britain. Held at Weston Park, part of Museums Sheffield, the exhibition formed part of Circus 250, a UK-wide celebration of circus in 2018.
Long used methods of visual identity associated with the spectacle of circus are cut-outs, collages and montages using imagery and typography. Fusing old and new together, I created collages for the exhibition identity which formed a complete visual of circus both from the past and present.
