Packaging
Three of my prints have been used illustrations as part of a brand refresh for working dog food specialists Skinners. My illustrations feature on the packaging for their wet, puppy and treat ranges, and work with the new identity to reinforce the concept of working dogs and their joy of being in the outdoors.
