Anton Brand
Cartoon Illustrator
Meet Anton
Anton is the illustrator behind Young Car Driver’s custom cartoon characters and visual world. His work helps make the site feel more familiar, friendly, and easier to follow for young drivers.
Each Young Car Driver character is part of a consistent cartoon world, with individual traits but a shared visual style, including the now-familiar cartoon car they all drive. This connected design approach helps tie the site together and makes each journey feel more intuitive and memorable.
Anton begins each illustration with pencil sketches before completing the artwork in Adobe Illustrator. The result is crisp, scalable artwork that is optimised for web and mobile.
His ability to turn practical driving advice into warm, accessible visuals has become a defining part of the Young Car Driver experience.
