First year BA (Hons) Graphic Design students had the opportunity to work on a live brief with Northern Monk brewery for their new Northern Icons range.
Students were asked to deliver branding for three new IPA’s inspired by the rich cultural history of the North of England, exploring landmarks, architecture, artists, musicians and other cultural icons.
The brief was set by Northern Monk’s Head of Design Jon Simmons. The students were asked to deliver three labels, three 440ml can mock-ups, and one glassware mock up for the Northern Icons series, which needed to include at least one alcohol free IPA. They had to work within Northern Monk’s brand guidelines, and incorporate the Northern Monk logo within their design.
