| Lars Hemming Jorgensen, previous Co-Founder of Large Design and Partner at Story Worldwide approached me to create an identity for a new high-end creative consultancy he was heading up. The final mark and overall direction, was designed to embody the ethos of the company - A company which is confident and powerful, without being brash; A company that boasts a wealth of experience, without taking itself too seriously.

| Ben Stockley’s photography has earned him acclaim as a contemporary artist, editorial & advertising image-maker, winning numerous awards from D&AD, Epica and the Grand Clios.
The task was to create a site that would showcase a growing catalogue of personal and project work, whist establishing an overarching aesthetic that would compliment the nature of his photography, mirroring that of it’s traditional offline application. The navigation was kept simple and intuitive, whilst the use of embedded fonts, live resizing and other javascript/ajax elements gave the site a dynamic edge. The site was developed around its own bespoke CMS, courtesy of SEQUENCE:01 and is managed fully by the photographer. Link(s) |

| 2007 saw the fiftieth anniversary of Helvetica. Blanka and Candy invited 50 leading Designers and Graphic Artists to produce 50 images. The Exhibition launched in London at the Design Museum in July, produced in association with Veer, Epson, GF Smith, Image Now and Build. The final piece pays homage to both Milton’s “I (Heart) New York” logo and the completion of the Twin Towers in New York. 50cm x 50cm Giclee Print

| The Concept — |
||
| Since the “Towers” were located at the heart of NY, I focussed my attention on the word “Heart” in the slogan. The two sticks from the “H” were removed and scaled up, thus making a feature of them and symbolising the “Twin Towers” element. I settled on a version where the slogan was positioned between the two sticks, which when read from a distance, portrayed the shape of the letter “H”. Although it was pretty obvious what the letter should be at the beginning of “eart”, this presented an even stronger visual clue to the missing letter, but also just as importantly made a graphic gesture to the “H” in Helvetica; the font we were celebrating.
Two faint grey bars were added in the space where the black bars had been removed. This was carried out as a secondary tribute to Miltons later logo, which was reissued after 9/11. In his recent version a smudge had been added to the lower section of the heart, to symbolise the tragic events of 2001 and its effect on the community; In essence, a part of the heart had been marked, but not permanently destroyed. The grey bars in my piece were added to mirror this same sentiment, whilst providing a visual representation of the part of NY that had been lost, “The Two Towers”.
