Research - Ben Biondo
Having no significant luck with contacting studios I decided to shift my focus again to freelance designers, I was initially hesitant to do this as I wanted to create connections within the industry that could potentially lead to employment opportunities however have never considered freelance work and this could give a critical insight to this side of the industry.
My first thought was a freelancer from California called Ben Biondo. I initially stumbled across his work at the start of the year through social media and loved his style. By extension I found his website which allowed me to see his full portfolio. I liked the vast range within his practice from the dramatic photography in the overgrowth campaign and the illustrative elements within the 'a few plants' series. Most of all I was attracted to his logo work and 'small things' series which to me showed pure creativity and the fun to be had within design. Mixing a range of styles, aesthetics and formats as pure experimentation. The use of pastels appealed to me and the typographic experimentation was refined yet playful.

Interested in Bens style and attitudes towards design I sent him an email explaining the brief in the hope he would reply being a freelancer meant the email would go directly to him.
