IDEAS FOR DISCUSSIONWall Displays in the Lock Keeper's CottageThis is a very informal web page that is being used (on a temporary basis) for gathering suggestions for the wall displays. Raw information is being sought from interested parties (including the Friends of Regent's Canal, the IWA, Camden Council) and Starbucks will pass this on to the designers and illustrators. Some of these images are of low quality, but they are not the final versions, they are just being included here to inspire and inform others. Note - We need to find more examples for Camden. Note - These ideas have yet to be discussed and the final design might look very different from these suggestions; we simply do not have enough space in the building to accommodate all these ideas, so the information will need to be distilled and prioritised. |
