Cameron Platter

Base Partner Geoff Cook stumbled upon Cameron Platter’s work on his gallery’s website (whatiftheworld in Cape Town, South Africa, which also represents Base fave Dan Halter). Aside from opening a new show at the gallery, helping his wife to deliver a premature baby by emergency c-section, and renovating his house, Platter amazingly found time to deliver an insightful and often comical interview with us.

Happy ten years from BaseWords from BaseMotion on Vimeo.

Way back in the 20th century, a guy named Jean-Marc joined Base. He started as a graphic design intern, then was hired as a designer. After a while, entranced by the whiff of the web, he morphed into the reluctant internet guy. Gradually tiring of being both reluctant and the internet guy, Jean-Marc in 2005 launched BaseMotion, and began leading all sorts of motion graphics and film projects for Base and its clients. Today, while continuing to direct Base’s audiovisual work, Jean-Marc is Partner and Creative Director of Base Barcelona. As Base celebrates a dozen years of Jean-Marcness, we look back to a video made two years ago for his tenth-anniversary by Tom of BaseWords.

Happy 12 years, Jean-Marc. You’re still t-h-e man.

As part of our ongoing work with Wellesley College (a women’s liberal arts college in Wellesley, Massachusetts), we’ve designed a campaign to encourage alumnae to participate in its annual drive. But rather than being driven by monetary goals, the emphasis of this campaign is on participation, at any level. … more

Eva Jeanbart-Lorenzotti

Eva Jeanbart-Lorenzotti first met Base partner Geoff Cook years ago when her company, Vivre (previously named L’Art de Vivre), was known as a niche catalog. Today the catalog has moved online and Eva herself has become a respected, international arbiter of style. We sat down with Eva to discuss fashion, her personal style, and what it takes to run a luxury company in today’s competitive environment.

Today is a promising day for the Brussels fashion scene. Because from now on, the organization Modo Bruxellae will stride its way through life as Modo Brussels. A change of only a few letters, but behind it lies a whole new functioning and strategy to support Brussels fashion, developed under the guidance of artistic director Didier Vervaeren.

Nasa logo proposal by Base for Viewpoint magazine

We had no idea when we submitted our proposed NASA logo redesign to The Future Laboratory‘s Viewpoint magazine that it would elicit such strong emotional reactions on both sides of the proverbial fence. Of course we were quite flattered by those that were complimentary, such as:

I think this is a really great looking design. It’s forward, it’s sexy, and the negative space strongly evokes the celestial bodies that NASA has devoted itself so thoroughly to studying.

That said, we got a huge kick out of those that were much less laudatory, including: … more

“Visitor Pass” es una serie de retratos de gente que visita nuestros estudios. Esta vez tuvimos la suerte de que Vanessa Casas, parte del equipo de exposiciones de La Casa Encendida, quiso compartir con nosotros un salmorejo, receta de su tierra, que preparó aquí mismo. ¡Buenísimo!

Visitor Pass is a loose series of headshots of various visitors to our studios. Stopping in recently was Homer, professional barker and cookie lover.
