A bit about me, Ben Thompson



Follow benthompson70 on Twitter

Howabout Creative Solutions isn't a huge company so I'll make this brief... okay, it's just me, Ben Thompson (although I do collaborate with a selection of trusted editors, designers and web savvy folk fairly frequently). It's all about quality, not quantity though.

I have been a designer for over 15 years now and have experience in print, exhibition and pdf design (and a bit of web too - I designed, and co-built this site anyway). I have worked for a variety of clients including NHS, deliciouslyorkshire, Anglian Water, O2, Siemens, Tube Lines, Coca-Cola and British Midland. In 2005 I won a CiB national gold award for work on Barclays 'The Globe' magazine. More recently, I have worked with Carillion on high-end bid documents that have helped them win accounts in excess of £1bn, designed direct mail and web banners for YorkTest Laboratories and produced various marketing material for Beaucare Medical in Harrogate.

Likes
All things design, my family, natural history, cooking, football, F1, music, festivals on sunny days.

Dislikes
DIY, drivers who never indicate, festivals on rainy days.

This is me, just here
