I was commissioned to create a wall drawing that encapsulated all of Bonkers.ie’s areas of work, and to reinvigorate the entrance of their headquarters - a previously unused space, but with much potential. The treatment I designed was to take all of those facets, and embed them in a hand-drawn wall mural including a hand-rendered version of the Bonkers.ie logo within a fun, illustrated aesthetic.
