Chinwagging / Ben Sanders

Another year of "Schmoozing" in Melbourne with this retro-inspired illustration being used for invitations to the events. Thanks to Piers Buxton at Tommy Gun for the commission.

The excellent Screen Australia / Nigel Buchanan

The wonderful people at Screen Australia have been keeping Nigel busy during the run up to the Cannes film festival. There have been booklets, posters, banners, magazine ads, invitations galore for all sorts of different events. The brief called for a completely new approach to the marketing push, which is usually dominated by stills from one or more of the competition films. The images had to stand out from the marketing frenzy.

AADC "Killer Ideas"

These bar coasters are part of the "Thinking About Drinking?" campaign for MAC South Australia, developed by the fine people of Clemenger BBDO (Art Direction by Jane Keen / Illustration & Design by Ben Sanders). At the recent 33rd (AADC) Adelaide Advertising & Design Club Awards the illustrations were Finalist in 4 categories including Best Poster, Art Direction & Press, and ultimately captured the gong in the "Other Print" category... So next time don't take the car!
