Art, design and rebranding

Connan Henry-Madden of Manchester's Speak in Code has spent lockdown developing his skills in another creative field.

Words by: Connan Henry-Madden, Speak in Code, Manchester

When the world gets flipped upside down there are two ways to approach it; kick your feet up and enjoy the break or bite down and get to work.

Having this time away from being behind the bar I focused my efforts on progressing another passion - graphic design. Outside of the personal and external logo/branding projects we at Speak in Code really took this as an opportunity to up our game on everything. We've re-branded, finished our second menu, built a website and knocked out artpieces for inside of the venue.
