Springtime

I'd forgotten about these posters. These were from a series of five or six Aboriginal safety posters that I began in 2001. They were large, over 30" in height. I was reminded of them because of the spring crocuses in the middle shot. I didn't have a lot (or any) control at these photo shoots, but those crocuses made my day.

Re-do

The illustration of a pump jack for this project had to be re-done due to similarities (okay, it was exactly the same image) with competitor materials - after three different versions of the brochures, reference sheets and folder were printed with the previous canola-laden field. But the new one, below, is better so I can't complain.

Pretty different

What I appreciate about my job the most is the variety. It's never the same thing week after week, and I often have to finish things before I'm totally happy with them, but I do what I can given the three hours or three days I'm allowed.

Two hours, maybe. (An envelope, of which the idea will be applied to posters and tent cards.)

Four hours. (This is our youth conference identity this year.)

Three days. (An illustration for a product launch spanning three provinces and multiple applications.)

Another flyer

Here's another flyer, this time for a contest in Manitoba.

In the last week

This is a sharp little flyer I whipped up for a contest in Alberta. Honing my Photoshop skills all the time. Slick.

I was at a loss for this one. It was redesigned from its previous incarnation as a Word file with pictures. Pure evil. Chris always tells me that if there's nothing else to go on, the design should at least be competent.

New and old

New promotional catalogue for 2008. It was pretty sharp, an improvement on the previous two catalogues I've done. The product photos and staff models were large and the layout very clean.
These phone cards are old, maybe even from 2003. But I still like the illustrations and still think the boy is cute since I modeled him after Chris!

Now a series

This poster became a series. Life of the party dude. Because some people can't relate to a chick. Hope people don't notice this guy's in this poster twice - once as the designated driver and deep in the background as a partier. But hey, could be his identical twin. Right?

Celebrating their achievements

A teaser and an invitation, sent by e-mail and opened in full screen, to celebrate the first release of a many-phase project.

Party theme

This was the beginning of a visual theme for a party we planned on having but had to cancel at the last minute.

Life of the Party

This poster promotes being a designated driver as a means of getting your peeps home safely after a night of partying.

Contest poster and prizes

Here is the third poster in the First Nation school contests promoting traffic safety, this one geared at high school kids. I have no idea what high school kids think is cool, so this is what they get. The big draw will be the iPod prizes.

And these are the 2-colour t-shirt illustrations for the winners of the grades 5 - 8 contest (Lukida) and the K - 4 contest (safety kids). It was good to do a two-colour silkscreen on something that wasn't white. Easier to use the navy of the shirt as a third colour.
