The Brief
Devise a branding strategy for young artist Jake Sugar that establishes a personal public image and create a promotional campaign for his debut exhibition held at No Vacancy Gallery. In close collaboration with the artist, a visual identity took form. Jake’s trademark skull, which features heavily in his work, provided a great spring board for creativity, and his Louis Vuitton inspired artwork set the tone for an elegant look and feel.
