Downtown WO!

February 12th

This is pretty exciting, I’ve recently just completed a project for the Downtown BIA. It’s a new website called downtownWO.ca You may recognize that the rose graphic from my t-shirts is in the logo. When we were naming and branding this new project it seemed like a good fit, WO (with the ‘O’ being the rose), this will act as a good recognizable element to help promote Windsor and the downtown core.

This site would not have been created without the help of Accent Media, who did all the back end coding and geeky internety stuff, we worked in collaboration to merge design and fuctionality for a site that is easy to use and nice to look at.

Content will be updated regularly by the DWBIA and by my good friend Tom Lucier.

Cardona by Michou

January 18th

You’ll notice this is similar to the post a few down, this was an illustration I created for a local band (and good friends) Michou. At the time there were not going to go with it but after a few months decided they liked the style and subject matter. With direction from the band, a few changes were made and I believe has made this a much stronger design. I’m excited about it and they seem to be too. Check out their blog and website, they’ve launched a campaign to release this album called “The Seven Weeks of Michou” where they release new content (video, music, album art) leading up to the album release.

Vintage SPOTVIN

January 13th

I was looking for an old illustration I did many years back and found a whole ton of stuff I did back in college, way too funny.  Here are a few samples. — 1. Apparently this is the type of car we should be driving in 2010, oh god, I think it should be parked right next to my jet pack. — 2. This was a made up logo for a fake sport team, oh the freedom of college and the oodles amount of time spent on one logo. –3. An illustration for a children’s book, I chose The Pied Piper, my favourite illustration was the back page of a bunch of mice drowning, probably not the best subject matter for budding minds. I’ll probably keep posting more now and then.spot_vintage1

Very Sketchy

December 1st

Haven’t done any random sketching in awhile until recently. Here is a little example of it. I really do miss drawing and need to make a point to do it more often.

Far Coast Cup Design

November 16th

I’ve noticed this company at the movie theatre I usually go to, I’ve always liked their logo and branding. Yesterday I went to a matinee and wanted a coffee for the show, and to be honest I’ve become a bit of a coffee cup fanatic, Tim Hortons just doesn’t cut it anymore, McDonalds cup is far superior  (better lid, better cup), but the design is blah. Far Coast has nailed it!, great double-cup design and lid, plus a extremely cool design style. I think there is something to the cup in the desire for coffee. I’m a sucker for design, it’s just too bad there is only one in the city.

Accent Media

November 8th

This was branding created for a new company based out of Windsor, ON who specializes in all things web. So if your website is livin’ in the late 90’s, maybe it’s time for a new wardrobe.
