Consider reflecting:

- key aspects of place

- key features of the building 

- key features of the collection 

- elements from different areas within the building

- aspects of history 

Using key parts of the collection or building within the designs will allow people to find and see these things in person and therefore have more association with them, with the pennies then acting as momentos of the highlights of what they saw at the gallery.

Using elements of the collection or the building that do not change over time will allow the designs to be reflective of Leeds Art Gallery over a longer period of time rather than being outdated once an exhibition has finished.
