Ben Freeman from Ditto Press came in to talk today. It was very interesting to see his personal story about his professional and personal growth. Ben has had a very colourful life and has produced a range of great work, while being involved with the vibrant magazine Vice.
His prior experiences have definitely shaped his overall presence as a designer and his career path, although varied and seemingly sporadic and ad hoc, is actually very focussed.
Ben's impression is made by his individual and personal story and view point. His work perpetuates his personal ambitions, and his personal ambitions feed his work.
Ben is another designer who has carved out his own context for his design. He has created his own print shop that take on work of his choosing. The company is an extension of himself, and I think this is a brilliant thing to accomplish in your life time.
