Helping a brand take flight

From sketch to spotlight with The UK Drum Show
The UK Drum Show for 2024 came and went at the end of September and although I was unable to visit this year, I got to see the new logo I designed up in lights, on the stage and in various printed materials. I was asked to create some promotional…
