Fraser Watson

UK Parliament

Commissioned to create simple educative guides ­­­­­for visiting schools and families to support young people’s understanding of the UK Parliament and the history of Big Ben. 


Working with Jim Robins (illustrator) a series of guides were proposed, planned, and then developed working with the UK Parliament Education Service Team. The cutaway illustration of Clock Tower was the first time the interior layout had been shown to the public.

The Big Ben double-sided leaflet is 297x480mm in format when unfolded. One side depicts the internal layout of the Clock Tower with accompanying notes. The reverse side has a series of Q&As about Big Ben.
