This week I completed a framing project for Creative Scotland. Formerly the Scottish Arts Council, it is the national leader for Scotland’s arts, screen and creative industries. It’s their job to ‘help Scotland’s creativity shine at home and abroad’.
2012 sees a year-long celebration of the nation’s cultural and creative strengths and one of the initiatives being recognised are The Creative Place Awards. These celebrate the hard work and imagination that contribute to the rich cultural life of a community, as well as its social and economic well-being.
It was these awards that I was commissioned to frame. They had been designed in-house and to complement the clean, contemporary look and the square format (nice change from A4), myself and the designer settled on a simple, black lacquered, flat faced moulding with a complementary coloured window mount. As the awards were going to be photographed, non-reflective glass was used.
Details of the winners and runners up can be found here.
