 We were contacted by the organizers of Folded Dreams at the beginning of 2011 and asked to design a poster, a postcard and some templates for the website of their Annual Paper Airplane Festival & Competition taking place in Ottawa. They wanted something “simple and clean”, and below is what we came up with. This event . . . → Read More: Designs for Paper Airplane Festival & Competition

Winterlude 2011 – Ottawa, Canada – Confederation Park
We’re not big fans of winter, but yesterday we made an exception and took advantage of the warm-ish weather to go to Winterlude, Ottawa’s annual winter festival. We wanted to see the ice sculptures that were, as you can see above, quite spectacular! We couldn’t . . . → Read More: Winterlude 2011 – Ice Sculpture Competition

 A few weeks ago Felt & Wire was giving away packs of lovely Mohawk Paper envelopes to their Facebook fans following a discussion on what size(s) of envelopes designers/paper lovers were using the most. I received mine in the post a few days later and was very excited about posting about them here, but . . . → Read More: Recycled cards for the Holidays

 Vero Moda @ The Bay ad
A few weeks ago we designed this advert for Vero Moda, a women fashion label part of the Bestseller family of clothing brands. It was a project very different from the ones that we normally work on: extremely tight deadline, concept needing to be fully photography-based, dealings with various departments, . . . → Read More: FASHION Magazine – Nice Vero Moda advert (designed by us!)

I wish I had had a real camera with me, and not just a stupid phone… Anyways, these were taken really quickly as I was crossing Portage Bridge this morning. Didn’t want to look like those losers with their camera-phone that takes pictures of everything but I thought that the landscape was too nice not take . . . → Read More: Foggy Morning in Ottawa…

Hockey season officially kicked in yesterday at Yellow Car Design with the first match between our 2 rivals, les Canadiens de Montréal (Vicky’s team) and Toronto’s Maple Leafs (Marc’s team).

 YCD's Business Card
After designing several business cards for various clients, we finally got some printed for Yellow Car Design! It took a long time but we’re quite happy with the result and can’t wait to start distributing them. We settled on a simple and minimalistic look featuring our logo and contact details. That . . . → Read More: Freshly Printed Business Cards!

YCD Paris
I recently re-read Made You Look by Stefan Sagmeister, one of my favourite designers. He’s not one of my favourites because of his work (rather ugly, sometimes!), but I like him because of the thinking behind his designs and I just find that the stuff he writes in his books/interviews is quite hilarious and . . . → Read More: YCD Paris
