Glug Stockholm poster
Glug / Soapbox & Sons
Character Design / Vector Illustration
Glug is a series of events for the design and creative community, based around talks and informal networking. Events are held in cities around the world, Stockholm being the latest addition.
My entry for the competition to design the poster for Glug Stockholm was a success, with my winning illustration being used on posters for the event and being made into an art print to be sold on the night.
Based on the brief ‘Creativity in Sweden’, I came up with a viking character holding aloft a pencil. The face of the character was formed from the letter g of the Glug logo, which I noticed looked like a cyclops with a smiley face. My aim was to keep the illustration fairly simple and bold for maximum impact.
