AY-PE developed dramatic yet elegant black and white illustrations and animations – concepts which would fit with the beauty of the Argyle Tower and the powerful history being told. Commissioning David Rooney to design the initial illustrations, these designs were used across graphic panels and as the basis to the six window niche animations. 

An atmospheric projection reflecting the six niche animations covers the vaulted ceiling. Visitors are immersed by looming silhouettes and shadows whilst a historical soundscape which plays all around. An additional historical animation styled in the shape of a battle shield is projected high onto the walls – continuing the theatre and drama.
