OUGD402 | Studio Brief 01 - MOSTYN Art Gallery Llandudno

As my family has recently moved to Llandudno, Wales, I have has the opportunity to visit their local art gallery which I was pleasantly surprised by.
Although the gallery is only small, the interior is particularly striking -

Although the work was interesting, it was the graphic design around the gallery that caught my eye. The challenge with graphic design in Wales is that a lot of type must be put in english as well as in welsh. This was particularly interesting in a large vinyl display as part of the exhibition, with both languages aligned oppositely, forming a strange butterfly shape. The text was poorly type set in my opinion but the logo in the centre was particularly striking against the wall.

Despite being in a gallery, it was the design within the cafe space that inspired me most. I was drawn to this logo "Gallery Oriel 6" I was unsure what it related to as it was just on a bare wall, but I feel that minimalistic circular logos are really effective as they are simple but have a professional and modern feel. However, I do feel that this style of logo is beginning to become a bit overused. 

Some typography on the wall also caught my eye, this was a script typeface in white with a shadow. I love the style of this and the way it stands out against the neutral brown background. I would like to start getting more adventurous with stock and backgrounds as I have got into a bad habit of using stark white backgrounds. Now I would like to take my work to the next level.
