Banff Session

Posted on September 24, 2009 | Comments Off

This is a project Tyler Vreeling from Fat Crow Design, Laura Harding and I are currently collaborating on for the Alberta Association of Architects. The Banff Session is a biannual architectural conference held in Banff, Alberta, Canada. This year’s theme, chosen by the association, is “Scale”. Our interpretation of the theme is based on the shifts in scale possible within the isometric grid. Each piece in the package will represent a shift in scale by zooming in or out on the elements that we’ve created within this isometric world. The poster is below. A website, postcards, banners, programs and signage are in the works.

Couture for Cambodia

Posted on September 24, 2009 | Comments Off

This was a bro bono project my wife Laura and I worked on for a non-profit called Same Same But Different. The event was a fashion show featuring some of Canada’s hottest designers and models. All the proceeds went towards an orphanage building project in Cambodia benefiting victims of child trafficking, extreme poverty, abandonment, and decades of warfare.

I art directed the project and Laura Harding did all the illustration. We chose a really bright, warm and energetic colour scheme that made reference to the traditional colours of Cambodia and served to generate the excitement we were hoping to create for the event through posters, invites, tickets, banners and programs. It seems to have worked—the house was packed and the event raised $17,000.

First Nations Brochure/Poster

Posted on September 24, 2009 | Comments Off

I was asked to write and design a brochure to promote Manasc Isaac’s work for First Nations communities across Canada and attract new building projects. The brochure was intended to reconnect the firm with past clients and generate business. The concept uses the traditional First Nations medicine wheel and four elements as a way to explain Manasc Isaac’s sustainable building practices and show the harmony between the two philosophies.

Agora Borealis

Posted on September 23, 2009 | Comments Off

One of the major projects I’ve worked on at Manasc Isaac is the redesign of Vivian Manasc’s book Agora Borealis: Engaging in Sustainable Architecture. The concept behind the book’s design comes from the idea of conversation and dialogue as a means to achieve more sustainable buildings. The book itself is a type of conversation; multiple authors tell the story and quotes from writers, architects and project stakeholders are smattered throughout the text. A simple speech bubble, repeated and varied endlessly throughout the book communicates this concept and serves as the building block for illustrations, the root of patterns, the carrier of pull-quotes and the structure for layouts. I did all the design and illustration for the book, and also contributed some of the photography.

The West Xprssd

Posted on September 15, 2009 | Comments Off

In the fall of 2008, Fat Crow Design curated a design feature booth at the Calgary and Vancouver Home Shows. The booth exhibited the work of ten Western Canadian designers working in various areas of design such as furniture, fashion and architecture. I was asked to create an identity and environmental graphics for the booth, print material and a webpage.

White Moose Catalogue

Posted on September 6, 2009 | Comments Off

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
