Ben Jeffery º Graphic design
Profile
I am a dilligent and passionate designer with an obsession
for typography, publication
and identity design. I am eager
to learn as much as possible about the design industry,
design history and design process’s.
Through research I am able to make rational justified decisions based on historical reference, message, legibility, hierarchy
and function.
I believe in practical functionality of design, and always consider audience interactions and its implications on the design.
