Noah Kahan’s Glastonbury Patch

I was commissioned by the BBC in collaboration with Glastonbury to design a custom patch for Noah Kahan. The patch was used across BBC Radio 1’s social media campaign for the event and shared by Noah Kahan himself.

The brief for this project was to create a design that felt vintage inspired and in line with other badges Kahan had produced.

Above you can see the initial sketches I delivered to the client. At the stage I was taking a lot of inspiration for vintage camping badge and scouting patches. Through client feedback we developed a final design that moved towards the idea of a sunset rather than the initial proposed moon.

I enjoyed challenging myself in this project as I had a very limited colour palette to work with. Through this work I learnt how to create a more simplified design and create contrast with fewer colours.

This project also allowed me to experiment with graphic design and typography as the client wanted to move away from hand lettering. This process helped me to better understand how to create mood through type and how to balance bold text with my illustrative work.
