25.01.2022 This morning I pre-ordered one of my most highly anticipated albums this year, Tame Impala's Lonerism, and I'm riding the epic psychedelic wave of inspiration. So what better soundtrack to Monday than a bit of Pink Floyd! If I'm working on your stuff this morning, expect swirling colours and objects melting off the page!

23.01.2022 If there's one thing I love, it's getting new books, especially typography books! And this one's a beauty!!

22.01.2022 If I'm a bit slow with email responses, don't fret, it's just because I'll be abroad for the next couple of weeks (hunting Banksy pieces in NY to start with). With a new travel book, and a freshly broken-in sketchbook, it's looking to be a great start already!

21.01.2022 http://www.bencoledesign.com.au/ will be unavailable for a short while as we embark on a redesign and upgrade. In the meantime, keep an eye out on the facebook page, as any new work and newsworthy posts will be done here

21.01.2022 It makes my job so easy when I get to work with such a talented guy. Nick's got some unbelievable photos on his site, which made building it a breeze. The golden rule for this design was keep the clutter out of the way, and let the photos take the spotlight. http://nickthake.com/

20.01.2022 Anyone else buy their bottle of wine yesterday based on how good the typography was on the label....? No, just me? Oh, ok then :)

17.01.2022 Hmmm, I'm seeing double!! I got two deliveries this week. One was some business cards for the awesome new business Hampers by Hand, the other was a new AGDA Membership card. Who's been tapping into my brain!? ;-)

16.01.2022 Just doing some test shots to prepare for a photoshoot next week. Studio Bunny Frank approves of using the 50 Prime Lens!!!

16.01.2022 I've been working on a series of illustrations that combine creepy monsters and custom typography in strange photos. Here's a sneak peak of what's been been keeping me up at night

14.01.2022 This was a web design project that, although delayed for a while, is really nice to get out to the world. I was lucky enough to do a photo shoot with some of these beautiful creatures (with a little help from my brother!) and I love the way it's turned out. Best viewed in a decent browser (not internet explorer!) http://www.slithersandslides.com.au/

14.01.2022 New on the blog! http://www.bencoledesign.com.au/blog

13.01.2022 There's been lots of work behind the scenes, and the new site is now live! Swing by and check it out. http://www.bencoledesign.com.au/

13.01.2022 This was a recent web project for an online will writing service. The colour palette was carefully engineered to draw the users attention to the call to action areas of the site, and a stylish but functional questionnaire was developed which, although very complex, appears to be simple and straightforward during use. http://makeawillnow.com.au/

13.01.2022 Well, things have been pretty hectic over the past couple of months (hence the lack of posting!). There are a few great projects that are just nearing completion, so I'll have some major updates to the website coming soon. For now, check out a recently completed site for www.agimports.com. I feel like I have a little obsession with background images at the moment, so it may be a running theme with a few designs in the near future!

12.01.2022 A recent project to restore and rebind an old type specimen book. Check out the process on my blog: http://www.bencoledesign.com.au/book-binding-and-repair

11.01.2022 Who doesn't love a bit of hand drawn type on a Friday afternoon.....?

10.01.2022 I always love working for artists. They are a joy to work with, they trust in your creative vision, and they've always got beautiful images that are perfect to display in a clean minimal website! This is a recent job for a Perth-based painter. http://www.marshallartist.id.au/

10.01.2022 Listening to the new Tame Impala album while I'm putting the final touches on some wedding invitations for a couple of my best friends. What a great way to spend a Tuesday afternoon

10.01.2022 There's nothing like seeing your handiwork around for all to see. The Sock it to Sarcoma! t-shirts have now been printed and have been doing the rounds at charity events etc. for the past couple of weeks. Remember, if you're interested in finding out more, then visit the new Sock it to Sarcoma! facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/SockItToSarcoma

09.01.2022 Been a while between posts on here. Things have been very busy, which is great, and means there's lots of new work which will be ready to show off soon. In the meantime, take a look at the 'Google Doodle' today, an ode to one of my favorite designers, Saul Bass! https://www.google.com.au/ http://www.independent.co.uk//graphic-designer-saul-bass-g

09.01.2022 Spent the morning photographing snakes and lizards with my brother for an upcoming project. God I love my job!!

08.01.2022 We're busy as always at the studio, but thought we'd show another recently completed design for RockTek. Have a look at the site to view all the details: http://www.bencoledesign.com.au/rocktek

08.01.2022 I've been working on a project thats close to my heart over the past couple of weeks, and thought it was time to share. Head to the website to check out the identity design for Sock it to Sarcoma! http://www.bencoledesign.com.au/sock-it-to-sarcoma. If you want any more info on this fantastic cause, then visit the Sock it to Sarcoma Facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/groups/290425887673758/

07.01.2022 Really looking forward to checking out the 'Blacklisted' exhibition the Adv. Diploma students at Central TAFE are putting on tonight. Had a sneak peak yesterday and there's some great work for sale!

07.01.2022 OK, so I violated my rule and took a few too many photos at the gig last night (the time taken to shoot six pics is way too much time NOT concentrating on Tame Impala), but I do like the colour progression that my phone's photo gallery showed me this morning ;)

05.01.2022 A recent branding/identity project for a local business who wanted a new look to reflect their changing business direction.

03.01.2022 A very special delivery just in time!! Looking forward to attending this event tonight and meeting the man himself. Looks like Frank's excited too!!! http://wa.agda.com.au//presenting-a-very-spatial-type-of-e

02.01.2022 THE RISKS OF BEING A DESIGNER: I was in Dan Murphys buying a box of beer after a hard weekend's renovating. On my way to the checkout, I was 'forced' to stop for 15 minutes in the wine isle inspecting each bottle to see if there were any new designs that caught my eye, occasionally pausing to inspect something impressive. It wasn't until my back started reminding me that I was holding 24 bottles of beer that I was forced to move on. Maybe I should just admit that I'm an addict and visit the wine isles before making my purchases next time?

01.01.2022 I'm generally not so much of a writer throughout creative process (hence the lack of posting in my blog!) but I thought I'd give a review a go after such an awesome Tame Impala concert at the weekend. Plus it was a great excuse for a bit more custom type ;)
