Farmfest is a small Somerset based music festival with super down to earth easiness and a happy-go-lucky crowd of all ages, with an eclectic line-up to boot.
The festival had a strong West Country feel, including selling local produce, and a heritage in emerging South West live acts and DJs. Along with the name Farmfest. We played on this to create a teaser campaign twisting well-known countryside sayings, and set a simple brief to various illustrators to create a black & white character of their choice representing ‘a music festival on a farm'.
Hats were also compulsory at the festival, as you can see.
