Creative Designer & Curator

  • Jay Burridge

Helped to curate and design the official world-wide touring exhibition which explores F1’s past, present and future. My skills were primarily put to use in setting up the initial Madrid exhibition which opened in 2023. Ongoing tasks have focused on adapting the show to new locations and ensuring that the exhibits and artefacts are relevant. Tasks include: Created and presented the F1 Exhibition pitch deck, outlining a global vision to attract support from F1 teams, suppliers, and sponsors. Fostered and maintained strong relationships with F1 teams, suppliers, and sponsors, ensuring ongoing support and collaboration throughout the exhibition’s development and tour. Managing photographic libraries and working directly with photographers, leveraging years of experience to negotiate optimal deals. Selecting and licensing photography, ensuring high-quality visuals for the exhibition. Designing and devising content that resonates with both F1 fans and a broad, diverse audience. Creating composition decks for various design teams, overseeing their output to ensure consistency and efficiency. Personally handling smaller print design tasks and making final amendments to ensure quality and timely delivery. Co-managing the on-site installation process, overseeing print work, and ensuring accurate execution. Helping shape and manage social media output, establishing a strong digital presence to drive engagement and buzz. Curating the exhibition for local audiences as it tours internationally, ensuring each venue maintains a fresh and relevant presentation. Overseeing the creation of a second, duplicate North American touring show, adapting the exhibition to different locations and needs.
