Ben Yates Design

Flexible & Personable

Whatever your needs and requirements, I will sit down and work through them with you, taking care of all the details and offering a fresh, creative solution to the brief.

I offer a flexible and personal approach to every brief, taking time to focus on who you are, what you do and how best I can help you through creative design and marketing.
This way of working has been central to building up Ben Yates Design as a freelance practice. For a quick quote or a chat, drop me an e-mail.

Design Background

My path was set in early childhood when I first received some blank paper and crayons. Several years and many thousands of dubious drawings later, I went to study Design & Art Direction at Manchester Metropolitan University (1999-2002).

My experience of working in both the private (Safety Management UK) and public (Lancaster & Morecambe College) sectors has given me a broad understanding of design implementation across different markets.

Inspiration & Philosophy

I believe life is a rich tapestry and that we are constantly surrounded by good ideas, inspiring sights and creative thinking. The challenge is filtering out the good from the average, and taking notice of the bad so as not to waste time re-creating it.

In terms of inspirational figures, I greatly admire the design work of Peter Saville; my logo is a nod to his work on the Joy Division - Substance album cover which formed part of his extensive work for Factory Records and the late, great Tony Wilson.
