The final piece was unveiled in front of thousands of public viewers at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2012. A significant aspect of the design was the keep the drivers helmets in full colour and undisturbed by the Williams blue. This would draw the viewers attention to the iconic designs of the helmets and keep the emphasis on the drivers rather than the cars.
In collaborating with the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, a challenge of a high magnitude was undertaken. In designing the 2.5m x 16m canvas for company King & Co, the brief was to portray the history of Williams F1 through the drivers of the sport. The challenge was eventually awarded with an RHS Gold Award and visted by the Queen.

Photoshop was used throughout the process of designing the canvas graphic. It was important then to visualise the colour scheme of the project as the image would greatly influence the feel and look of the final exhibition.
