The BLOG
An occasional blog about recent projects
As part of the revamp of their Borrow the Moon scheme (see previous post), I was asked by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) to develop some entirely new materials that could accompany and complement the main educational materials. The new materials would also have to stand on their own and be used by students and teachers not lucky enough to have access to the Lunar and meteorite samples. Each new element would take the form of a booklet and an accompanying two-sided poster. With no existing resource to update, this Borrow the Moon 'side project' was entirely my own to implement, research, design and illustrate – it was left entirely to my own judgement and it was tonnes of fun! First up was the booklet and poster to accompany the 'Lunar' element of the scheme, which was designed to be the more 'interactive' of the two by including some activities for the students to complete. You can download the full-fat PDF of the booklet from the STFC's Borrow the Moon website here and the PDF of the poster here. Hands on the Moon booklet...and the poster!Infographics are an incredibly powerful tool for communicating complex ideas to customers, the public, or to policy makers.
So, if you think your company, institution... or perhaps evil empire... would benefit from Ben's infographics why not get in touch to discuss your needs? Click here to drop Ben an email to start the conversation.

You have been doing your job as if it's really easy! Being a graphic artist can be so tough especially if you don't know where to start. But since you have mastered the craft and every time you are asked something, you already knew what to do, then it made the whole process more fun! Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) is lucky to have you because you have a very talented hand. That is the reason why they need to take care of you.
