Celebrating Coventry City of Culture 2021 - places of interest illustrations
CREATE ONSIGHT ILLUSTRATIONS
UK City of Culture is a competition run by the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) every four years. Previous winners are Derry/Londonderry in 2013 and Hull who had their year in 2017.
After facing off stiff competition from Paisley, Stoke, Sunderland and Swansea, cheers were heard across the many bars, pubs, theatres and community centres that were filled with Coventry supporters as the winner was announced as Coventry.
ABOUT COVENTRY CITY OF CULTURE 2021
This is the city where movement began, from innovation in the transport industry to a history of activism. Our city has moved people for centuries. For a whole year, we will celebrate our city with events, music, dance, theatre, and large-scale spectacle.
As well as these big celebrations, our city will show its unexpected side, with more intimate experiences and ways to get involved across every ward of the city. And it’s not just Coventry. This celebration will see the entire region get involved and benefit from the opportunities that being City of Culture brings.
“Our aim at Create Onsight was to commemorate this special year, by designing our very own range of illustrations, celebrating various places of interest around Coventry and the surrounding areas. We opted for a minimalist approach, focussing on the detail and iconic symbolism within each location, whether that be a seat in a theatre or the chequered black and white squares of the Two-Tone movement.
Coventry is an amazing City full of optimism, reconciliation and creativity which we hope comes across in our work.”
