BlakeBenda.com houses Benda’s personal portfolio of stylized portraits and historical copy
This responsive personal site functions on mobile, tablet, and desktop. Benda desired a digital, accessible home for his art and writings. The directory of over 50 historical profiles to explore is organized in a sleek, minimalist manner.
Champ vs. Chump is a digital graphic novel by Blake Benda. The main objective of this ongoing project is to publish this graphic novel in a readable, responsive format whose formatting enhances the reception of the work therein.
Benda's portfolio page looks simple and clean at first glance. Users who explore a bit more will find that there is a litany of bios to read, and plenty of good art to consume, demonstrating Benda's prolific work.
The thumbs from the portfolio pages take users to project pages where each photo can be interacted with.
Profile pages on each depicted figure, whose copy was penned by Benda himself allows readers to glean the scope of his affinity for history, as well as discern his capacity for good copywriting.
Letting the artist's work do the walking, so to speak, those items which speak for themselves, like Benda's "Cover Letter Comic" are hosted pages that do little more than frame the work contained therein.
Benda's simple about page gives readers a face to go with the name, and some quick details for those curious about his background. Links to his resume and cover letter provide quick access to his credentials for prospective employers.
