They are targeting a younger audience, so I decided free-hand illustrations would best portray their four main USP's: 1. They have their own chicken run. 2. They smoke their own meat & fish. 3.

They run their own small library. <img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/3/108842/3337547/Waggon-Horses_x4Posters 1_2_905.jpg" width="718" height="484" width_o="718" height_o="484" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/3/108842/3337547/Waggon-Horses_x4Posters 1_2_o.jpg" data-mid="27835752" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/3/108842/3337547/Waggon-Horses_x4Posters 4_3_905.jpg" width="718" height="484" width_o="718" height_o="484" src_o="http://payload51.cargocollective.com/1/3/108842/3337547/Waggon-Horses_x4Posters 4_3_o.jpg" data-mid="27835749" border="0" align="left"/> I also designed and produced the world's first ever 'beermat scratch cards', where the punter is invited to scratch away the (what would have been) ugly block of flats to uncover the (saved) beautiful pub.
