Slab & Ink
Brand rules for two bands

The Night Buses & Wren Hollis

The problem

A one-line ask gives the same neon poster everyone gets.

What we changed

A real brief, then a short written rule set per artist. The same gig came out as a loud two-ink flyer and a quiet linocut card.

Why it matters

Direction is the design. Written rules make it repeatable.

Reworked for this portfolio: the name, the logo and all data are made up.

Back to all work
