Northern Quarter after dark and Manchester after hours was a one night only festival of culture and creativity which took place in May 2014.

I worked with photographer James Welch to create some distinctive images using liquid and paints mixed together to mimic the look and feel of a dreamlike universe.

The beautiful photography helped form the basis for the overall brand identity.

A set of beermats were also letterpressed using two simple colours which when merged together recreated the style of the posters in a more elementary manner.

The event, now called Manchester After Hours, is ongoing. Grist is still used for headline type, seen here on its website.
