COLLAGE ICONS

These are a couple of quick collages I use as avatars around the joint - I'm hoping to expand on them further next week


NOW FREELANCING

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.

14 | 17 | 18

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.


CURSULA

WORK IN PROGRESS - Type treatment for a little side project I am working on


TOURNAMENT

I'm making a new typeface called Tournament, here is a preview

DRP VWLS NT BMBS

What else do I need to say? There are bigger problems than the state of written English

I love my wordplay

My Old Folio - 2005ish

Just click the title above.
This is my OLD folio... get that? OLD.
Just scroll down for the newer stuff and stay tuned - I have a bunch of work to throw up this weekend.

LOVE OR DEATH

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

POSTHOUSE | THE POSTHOUSE ROOMS

These are some logos done at Ink Project for Sam's parents' new cafe in Berry - The Posthouse. There is also accommodation upstairs, hence, The Posthouse Rooms.

BIRD

Illustration of a fantail I made a while ago - one of my favourites

JAWS

Here is a little illustration and some type experiments I made for my alias JAWS. I tend to make up little names and just make logos them - just a bit of fun plus it's good practice for mark-making

TOMMY TRASH

Here is a logo I made for Sydney based dj/producer/musician Tommy Trash

SHOWCASE

This is a channel I branded for TVNZ at Ink Project. I created the logo and look of the package with the team here and had a real neon sign made :) The whole channel is based on curiosity and the unexpected. I will try and track down a video of the package and the ID's - soon!

PLUTO

I was messing around with type in illustrator and made this little thing - I like it

LETTER

I wrote this the other day - was thinking of doing a little something with my buddy Josh called The Letter T's . Thought the word 'letter't looked nice so here it is... that is all.

Coke Commercial

This is a commercial directed by Ken Lambert of Ink Project - I helped ken create the look of the commercial and also designed all of the neon elements. Here are the initial styleframes for the neon and the finished commercial.

It won't let me upload the video right now - grrr I'll sort it out soon






BADGE

Just a badge I made for my Facebook.

MAKES MARKS

Here is a font I created - very jungle-y. All of the letters have 2 versions - one with a heavy top weight and the other with a heavy bottom weight - this is so any combination of letters will fit together nicely.

THE BUNGALOWS

Logo I made for The Bungalows - awesome band

TEEN WOLF

This is a logo I made for no real reason other than make some cool type - plus who doesn't love Teen Wolf?... besides Dave.

VH1 CLASSIC LOGO

Here is the VH1 Classic logo I created at Ink Project.

VH1 CLASSIC

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.
video

TVONE

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.

BODEGA

This illustration was done at Ink Project - it is for a Wine/Tapas bar in Surry Hills. I drew the bull, the type and other elements were done by Rich Deighton and Ken Lambert at Ink Project.



TV6 LOGO

I created this logo at Ink Project - TV6 is a digital channel that launched in New Zealand last year.


TV6 - 15 sec ID

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.
video

BIOGRAPHY CHANNEL

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

ARTSY FARTSY

Was messing around making some type and settled on Artsy Fartsy - could make a cool shirt

Broken Sun

This is a logo I created at Ink Project for an up coming Australian movie.

J

I made a type of modern calligraphic 'J' - I would love to expand the alphabet if I get some time.

UKTV

This was one of the first projects I worked on at Ink Project. It is the brand refresh of UKTV - I worked on developing the look of the IDs and the channel packaging but didn't participate in production.

video

LOCAL CONCIERGE

This was a proposed logo for a service called Local Concierge.
Done at Ink Project.


ABC LAUNCH DOCUMENT 2006

This is a book I made working at Ink Project - the 2006 ABC Launch Document



DRAWINGS

Here is a bunch of random sketches I made in 2006 - warning it's a big file
