I just created BEN CHILD DOT TUMBLR, a blog that is closely tied to my portfolio site. If you're an RSS person or just want to keep tabs, this will be a great one to bookmark because I can now post directly from the tumblr app on my iPhone.

Work Completed & Location Photoshoot

I have to thank Thesis for another chance to work with them in their studio. I finished another project with them Friday. It's always great to get into the studio with them and enjoy Three Oaks.

I'm really excited about starting my next project too. I'm flying down to Florida for a few days to kick start a project with a four day photo shoot for a client that I will be posting more about in the month to come. Check back soon!

I'm going to camp!



I just found out today from Firebelly Design that I have made the cut for their 10-day design charrette called Camp Firebelly.

Here's an excerpt from the site:
"Camp Firebelly started as a way to connect fresh talent with nonprofits in need. The collaborative environment is intense but offers an incredible opportunity to learn firsthand what professional life is like through the socially responsible vision of Firebelly Design."

Last Thursday was the opening reception for Eleventh Effort, my BFA Senior Graphic Design Exhibition. Things went really great! Everyone seemed to receive it well and had incredible things to say about the outcome of everything. It even seems that I might sell a couple of the pieces. The thought of selling any of the work never even crossed my mind, so that alone is a small success. Thanks to everyone that came out, and enjoy some of the images from the night in the slideshow below.
