Ill Manors print: branding

Another key aspect of the print platform is branding. 

Ill Manors hugely benefited from a strong, urban brand that ran through the promotion of the film, soundtrack and DVD release. This displayed important iconography of the urban drama genre while also offering a glimpse of the social realism that made Ill Manors a powerful and controversial film.
