Emily Benton - Bostin Type

Emily Benton is a creative designer based in the Black Country. She combines her 
illustrative skills and love for local accents to create bold, playful
and fun hand lettered designs.

By day, she co-run’s Bostin Design, a creative marketing studio. By night, she continues the pursuit of her passion for design and the Black Country dialect by creating illustrations and hand lettered artwork.

She explains “whether you love it or hate it, the Black Country accent is undeniably unique! I’ve always felt proud of my roots and feel our dialect should be celebrated! 

“My current project “Bostin Type” combines my illustrative skills and love for local accents to create bold, playful and fun hand lettered designs. My main goal is to show off our accent in a visually engaging way.“

These lettering pieces are then turned into design led homewares and gifts. All artwork is printed locally, where possible as Emily will always uses small independent businesses to put money back into our region.

All artworks can be purchased from her website at www.emilycreates.co.uk.
