Magna Carta: Law, Liberty, Legacy

An exhibition marking the 800th anniversary of the granting of Magna Carta bringing together iconic documents alongside rare artefacts and beautifully illuminated medieval manuscripts.

Inspired by the diversity of the paper content, structure and texture, we explored the idea of using subtly varying paper folds to reference individual documents from each section. The design encompassed photography of the shadow play of paper folds, from the suggestion of stitched medieval volumes to the lighter weight overlaid layers of 1950’s Government papers.
