Simon Bent is painting Melbourne multi-coloured with his vibrant design

Graphic Designer Simon Bent (aka Volume 2a) has confirmed two long-held suspicions for me with his striking portfolio of work; firstly, that bright, bold graphic design and thumping music is a match made in heaven, and secondly that Melbourne is a place I’d really like to visit. Working predominantly for an exceptionally trendy client list, Simon’s work is awash with experimental geometric forms, free-flowing line work and bright, engaging colours as well as some pleasingly abstract type and a plethora of visual trickery. Melbourne’s music scene is lucky to have such a talented designer creating the visuals for their night-time activities.
