Presenting artwork in exhibition.

I wanted to show how pieces could be displayed on the boards provided in the exhibition. I decided to create some quick compositional plans using photographs of my final pieces to show how they could be placed on the boards.
I first decided to show how my A2 (42x59.4cm) pieces would be placed on the white board. I placed these next to each other as I felt they would connect easily and the viewer would not need to travel to each piece to view them, but I also feel they are slightly cramped and would need to spaced a bit further to be more effective in a professional exhibition.

I then decided to experiment with how my pieces would look on two boards rather than one, I placed each piece on a board each in the centre of the boards. I feel this is a much better placement as there is much more space around the pieces, this looks more professional and also emphasises the pieces. I feel this is a much better way of displaying the artwork as it is less cramped. 

Finally I decided to experiment with how it would look if I decorated the boards I was provided. I decided to show how the boards would look if I covered them in wallpaper that compliments the artwork, using colours which were similar to the colours I used within the pieces (pink and blue). I like the way this looks but I feel it distracts from the artwork slightly making it less of an impact that when it was on plain white boards.

I feel the best way to display my artwork is to place them on two white boards rather than decorated, these should be situated at eye level so the audience can connect with the pieces and would not need to bend down or look up to see the artwork. I feel that the eyes of the subjects should be inline with the audience's eyes.  This would have a strong impact on the viewer.
