Québec in Design
On Saturday we went to an exhibition called “Québec Design” at the Design Exchange building, here in Toronto. It was interesting, well presented and worth paying the $5 entry fee. It featured “québécois” print, furniture and product design from the early 1930′s until now. The exhibition is on until October 4, so hurry up Toronto people if you want . . . → Read More: Québec in Design – Exhibition at the DX A very busy year for Yellow Car Design We landed in Toronto on the 26th September, 2008… Exactly one year ago. After a very long flight from Gatwick to Pearson we finally landed in this big, unknown city and all we had was a couple of suitcases and a few nights booked at the EconoLodge (in . . . → Read More: 1 year in Toronto, already Centreville – Toronto Island We meant to share this picture taken a few weeks ago when we went to Toronto Island but then we forgot, so here it is. There is something vintage about this sign that just make us like it. It is what it is and it’s not pretending to be “cool, design and modern” . . . → Read More: Good old 1970′s hand-painted sign Street Art – Toronto We came accross this the other day and at first thought that it was a graffiti on top of another graffiti… But it’s not. When looking at it from closer we can clearly see that it is a big sized surrealist photomontage and that the torn paper effects are part of the whole thing. . . . → Read More: Weird but cool… owl – illustration We did this illustration during the weekend to change our minds from the Graphic Standards Manual that we were working on. It turned out as a cute little owl; we’re not quite sure of what we’ll be using it for but we would certainly like to turn it into something. Maybe we’ll get it printed on . . . → Read More: Illustration of a owl Avocado Promotion …Avocados Mexico! Here is the story: our journey from home to work involves going through Union Station, here in Toronto. Union Station is probably the biggest and busiest transport hub in the city and that makes it a perfect spot for company to market their products and give you free samples. So for us, lovers of free stuff, . . . → Read More: Yellow Car Design’s Direct Promotion Award goes to… Pantone FCR Cover Download here : Pantone – Fashion Colour Report To coincide with New York Fashion Week, The Pantone Color Institute has asked a selection of fashion designers to create a series of sketches inspired by their colours. This report is the result of their creation, and is available to download free of charge.

We fell in love with their ‘plastic’ . . . → Read More: Alessi – Kitchenware too pretty to use! Billboard-Solstice Chewing Gum We came across this billboard during the weekend and were somewhat disappointed. It is as if the designers who did it had a really good idea of ‘hot meeting cold’, but sort of ran out of time in the process so got a classroom of high school art students to do the job . . . → Read More: Solstice Chewing Gum – Ugly Billboard Crate&Barrel – Nice Truck! Every time we see this truck (which is quite often given the fact that we live in a condo building on a street of condo buildings where people seem to have loads of money to spend on stuff) we say, in an admirative tone: “awwwww, the Helvetica truck”. And then we stare . . . → Read More: Crate&Barrel – Nice truck |
