Steven Bonner is a designer.
Profile
Steven has worked with a global client base and his work has been awarded by a number of bodies including the D&AD, Type Director’s Club, the One Show, the Art Director’s Club, Communication Arts, and the American Advertising Awards amongst others. He has had the honour of being listed as one of AdWeek's top 100 creatives worldwide, as well as making The Drum's list of the top 100 UK creatives on multiple occasions.
A blank canvas approach to each brief has seen him develop a varied skillset, leading to a portfolio with an eclectic mix of design, illustration, typography, lettering and art direction. His strengths lie in the ability to cross disciplines without the baggage of a rigid personal style, so each project's outcome is led by the brief rather than his own personal aesthetic. This versatility has allowed him to work across branding, advertising, editorial, publishing, and packaging – earning a reputation for high quality work and reliability along the way.
Previous work
After beginning his career in design studio roles in his native Scotland, Steven worked as an independent for a number of years before a move to San Francisco saw him work in advertising with Goodby, Silverstein & Partners. He then took up a role as Design Director with packaging specialists Stranger and Stranger before returning to Scotland to work in his current role as Creative Director with D8 in Glasgow.
