ELLEN PORTEUS
This year’s design speaks to our love of neon and street art, surrounded by grapes and vine leaves that are revealed as the delicious Bloody Shiraz Gin level drops (not so steadily, if you’re like us #nojudgement).
Newcastle-born, a graduate of Visual Comms in Sydney and today Melbourne-based, Ellen has defined a style for her work producing some seriously mind-melting GIFs. Endless chickens pecking in a field, the record player that never stops, and burgers in a pan that flip over, and over and over and over and over and you get the idea.
Her vibrant portfolio boasts Bloomberg Businessweek as her first commercial client before she dove into freelance life. Since then she has created awesomeness for the likes of The New York Times, Sydney Opera House, The Guardian, Adidas and Triple J.
What a badass.
