These are some rough character designs that I have produced towards my developments to create my promotional branding for 'The Dirty North craft brewery'. While producing these designs I have taken inspiration from stereo typical Manchester style from the 80s and early 90s as I have been researching the fashion from cult Manchester Figures during  that time such as Ian Brown, Tim Burgess, Mark E. Smith, John Cooper Clark, Morrisey, Noel Gallagher and Frank Sidebottom.

​

For these character designs I have taken inspiration from the illustrative styles of Jamie Hewlett and the characters from  the Wychwood brewery labels as I have added humorous characters  with in my designs as they both use humour with in their designs.
