From Marc ♥
From the in-laws
From the sister in-law
A few days before my birthday we went on a trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake with Marc’s family, who came all the day from England to visit us. Off the main street we found a great little shop that specializes in selling Japan-imported goods (From Japan Inc. – . . . → Read More: Greetings from Japan (via Niagara-on-the-Lake)

Il y a quelques mois, GO à vélo!, une équipe inscrite au Grand Défi Pierre Lavoie, nous a contacté pour savoir si nous accepterions de créer un logo pour leur équipe de vélo. Nous avons créé le logo, et puisque le grand départ de cette randonnée de 1000 . . . → Read More: GO à vélo!

Shepard Fairey
Way before Shepard Fairey became famous for having designed the Obama “HOPE” poster, we went to one of his exhibition at Stolenspace Gallery, a very cool place in London (http://www.stolenspace.com). We fell in love with the picture above (it was gigantic; the size of a wall so very impressive) and decided that we wanted . . . → Read More: Obey vs The Labour Party

Fresh: Edmonton Tourism
I came across this promotion piece for Edmonton Tourism while at work; it’s to promote their meeting and conference hosting services. The whole concept revolves around them being a ‘fresh’ alternative to group events as they offer eco-friendly options such as ECO report card, sustainable event planning guide and sustainable event planning tips . . . → Read More: Fresh: “Plantable” label for Edmonton Tourism Promotion Piece

Spring is in the air: it smells like mud, we’ve already seen people wearing shorts & flip flops (!), Easter is in 2 weeks and it’s daffodils season (in England at least; sadly, here it’s daffodils seasons in flower shops only.

Our apologies for the lack of updates this month; we’ve been very busy with a combination of design jobs and a semi-unexpected move so the blog has had to go on the backburner until we finish up some of our current projects and moved into our new place.
Anyway onto the point of this blog post: as . . . → Read More: Photoshop 20th Anniversary

Vancouver 2010
10 days left (at the moment of writing this blog) before the Winter Olympics & Paralympics Games. I don’t have much interest in the games themselves and probably won’t go out of my way in order to watch the events (except maybe the hockey). However, I do like the ‘Olympic Spirit’ AKA the advertising, . . . → Read More: Olympics Design

Underground Map
Anyone who’s been to London is familiar with this map. Overwhelming at first – it does illustrate 11 lines and 270 stations – it doesn’t take too long to get accustomed and know how to use it, even for lost tourists. For this, we have to be thankful to Harry Beck, designer of the . . . → Read More: Underground Map Design

Amsterdam Beer
Amsterdam is a locally brewed beer. It is conveniently located just around the corner from us so it’s a great alternative to the Oh-So-Stinky-And-Far-Away Beer Store. There’s definitely something special about buying beer directly at the brewery: not only are we doing something good by buying a local product, but the beer even seems . . . → Read More: Amsterdam Beer – Nice packaging (and taste!)
