The Design Exchange likes me

I was in Toronto this week for the 2009 DX Awards, where I won Gold in the Visual Communications – Content Development & Editorial category for Agora Borealis: Engaging in Sustainable Architecture. I was tickled pink. Pinkish gold maybe.

This was my second trip to the DX Awards—in 2007 I won an honourable mention for the White Moose Catalogue.

The Design Exchange says: The Design Exchange Awards promote Canadian design excellence and recognize the critical role of design in all types of organizations including commercial entities (large and small businesses), not-for-profit organizations, and the public sector. The Awards celebrate the success stories achieved through close partnerships between clients and designers. The DXAs are Canada’s only award program to judge design by results, balancing function, aesthetics, and economic success.

White Moose Catalogue

36 page product catalogue produced for Fat Crow Design’s inaugural furniture line, White Moose. Using the identity I had developed previously, I did all of the photography, design and much of the copy writing. All in less than two weeks (two blurry, sleepless, zombie-eyed weeks). Tyler Vreeling and I collaborated on the creative direction and copy writing.

This project won a DX Award in 2007

I was involved in the design of several of the pieces in the line including a set of magnetic coasters and a water-jet cut room divider.

I also designed the online catalogue at www.whitemoosebrand.ca
