TheHut.com BRANDING
My first job after University was to brand THG with my illustration. Illustration is used to express brand value, for web and print.
Helping to ensure a high quality of design across the TheHut.com’s platform. I also created the character brand guidelines, as well as devising new creative ideas for how the illustration style can communicate its personality.
OVERVIEW
In 2008, The Hutties were born! My characters were clean and simple, living in a colourful and sunny world, embodying a cohesive mood and style that clarifies the brand’s promise.
The illustration system I put in place, gave the business the ability to unfold its brand story with consistency on multiple platforms (web, print, social, etc).
