NOW FREELANCING

2008-06-24T22:12:00.004+10:00

As of this week I will be saying goodbye to Ink Project. I have had a great 2 1/4 years there but felt it was time for a change, so as of July 1st I will be available for freelance and possibly full time employment.

I will be posting a link to my revised folio in coming days.

Please email benmakesmarks@gmail.com for any inquiries.

Here are some mix cd's I made - just a personal project to practice my collage.

The numbers 14, 17, 18 are the number of tracks on the cd but the number also informed my collage. They are representative of age and the interests of people at that age.

2008-04-03T19:11:00.005+11:00

I was watching Leon aka. The Professional, the other day and loved the line 'love or death' - so I made a type treatment for it. I love the porcelain feel of it, it looks really fragile. This would look nice on a vinyl record cover all worn and beat up... might have to mock that up

VH1 CLASSIC

2008-03-12T20:59:00.000+11:00

This is a job that I completed solo at Ink Project. By solo I mean that I designed all the elements and Morten Rowley animated them with me directing.

TVONE

2008-03-12T20:26:00.001+11:00

This is one of the first projects I worked on at Ink Project. It is the rebrand of New Zealand's TVOne. I worked with Ken (creative director / founding partner) to create the package.

I will try and through up a montage if I can - it looks so much better moving.

2008-03-12T20:03:00.000+11:00

2008-03-12T18:29:00.000+11:00

Ink Project was asked to brand a new channel airing digitally in New Zealand called TV6. I created the logo and designed the 15 second ID.

BIOGRAPHY CHANNEL

2008-03-12T18:20:00.000+11:00

At Ink Project we rebranded the Biography Channel - I was lead designer and oversaw production of all IDs and the entire package.

I will try and add a video soon - otherwise I think there is a quicktime at www.inkproject.com

2008-03-12T17:34:00.001+11:00
