Minty's Gig Guide To Cardiff

I was the Illustrator for Minty's Gig Guide To Cardiff - a start-up company which centred around a weekly podcast covering the live music scene in Cardiff and posted gig listings across its social media platforms. I was commissioned originally to draw 30 music venues across the city to feature on a print map available in a number of these venues. Eventually over 18,000 maps were distributed to the public, and the launch event attracted significant media attention. I continued freelance work with this client over 4 years, as the company grew into a fully fledged business, with a substantial social media following. I created illustrated content for social media, printed media, and assisted with artistic branding.
