Info

Create Shapes is an animation and illustration studio run by Ben Baker, specialising in 2d animation and colourful illustrations. Helping clients for over 20 years, creating animations and illustrations for advertising, promotions, education and fun. Happy to work in any and all stages of a project, from the first creative ideas, through storyboards, scripts and sketches to a finished illustration, animated film or a simple gif loop. If you would like to work together, or want to know more, then get in touch︎︎︎ and don’t forget to check out my instagram︎︎︎ for the latest news.

︎Services I offer include making short animations and animated loops for social media, banners and websites. Making longer educational and promotional animated films. Devising and making animated explainer videos. Creating illustrations for all kinds of uses, for posters, flyers, book covers, book illustrations, and editorial content.

︎ I also make posters which I sell in my Etsy poster shop︎︎︎ My poster designs have a colourful, painterly style, using expressive strokes, textures and colours to emphasise the hand made feel and give the illustrations a vibrant analogue quality. I explore strange worlds and odd machines, depicting fake landscapes, grand interiors and unruly nature.
