This was a good project for obvious reasons. :)

The Ottawa Mission – 2008 Annual Report... again.



This job was a challenge.

The client provided a lo-res photo for the cover. It was what they wanted and so I worked with what I had. They asked for a lot of content; each spread being the same layout. They asked for the interior spread to include : 1 large photo, 1 bible verse, 1 testimonial with headshot (lo-res), 1 'Reasons to Hope' section with stats on mission activities, and the main article.

Did I mention the size was a reduced size? 8.5 x 5.5.

The Ottawa Mission was thrilled with the result and I am proud of it because it was a lot of work to jam it all in there! :)

Fox & Feather



I had a great time designing this menu with iBrand. It went through several revisions. This is the final and I'm fairly happy with it.

Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation Brochure



This is an old Ryan/Smith job that went through a lot of rounds of edits. The inside was actually black (the background of the photo) and it, surprisingly, survived the injection of colour. This one was actually approved and printed. Yay for me. :)

A client that doesn't come back anymore...




I worked on the Ottawa Mission's annual reports and newsletters for two years. Then one of their media people decided to learn InDesign and now they do it themselves. I can't say I'm not extremely disappointed. But that's what happens sometimes.

For the sake of a second post in March...


Here is a concept done for Environment Canada. It was not selected. None were selected in fact. This is an example of wasteful government spending. I got to create a nice logo out of it anyway.
