Pulsate by Lily Jencks and Nathanael Dorent

Drawing inspiration from the mind-boggling images of 
Op Art and Gestalt psychology, the tiles are laid out in a 
zigzagging pattern that warps perspective at the back 
of the space.








"It's just a simple herringbone pattern," said Nathanael Dorent, 
"but we've applied it in three dimensions, to create something 
  really eye-popping".


The herringbone pattern is 
an arrangement of rectangles 
used for floor tilings and road 
pavement, so named for a 
fancied resemblance to the 
skeleton of a fish such as a herring.
The blocks can be rectangles or 
parallelograms. The block edge
length ratios are usually 2:1, and 
sometimes 3:1, but need not be 
even ratios.




A successfully innovative application of existing functional design
into a new and unconventional environment to give a fresh perspective.

Some more relevant work in relation to the context

Don't try and sound more clever than you are:

Lexical Expression is a silly name for the exhibition.
Sounds like it's trying to be too clever.  True- the
words reflect what it entails, however, the audience
should not be alienated.  And this is alienating.


New name   - Verbal Minds.

Brand it.

Colophon type brilliance have come up with this: 












In context:




Too open - kerning needs tightening in a lot of areas.









A coupling of:











Together, these two typefaces appear confident in personality 
and professionalism.  'CENTRAL Ave' is powerful and proud- 
specifically with its long stems in the letterform 'R', whilst 
'Helvetica Neue bold' brings an accessible and well known feel- 
which encourages an audience who perhaps might not trust 
the content.

So, for example
