Victoria’s fourth annual Rifflandia Festival kicked off yesterday. Once again, the event is supported by a gorgeous festival guide/magazine featuring graphic design and illustrations from some of the city’s best designers. Kudos to publishers Nick Blasko and Casey Austin of Atomique Productions for investing in quality creative — these will be cherished long after the show is over.

To say I’ve been taken aback by the reaction is an understatement. Thank you to everyone who’s shared the link, printed a poster or updated their social media avatar for helping spread Jack’s message of optimism and hope. To my mind, his sentiments speak to human truths, regardless of policies or political ties.

Thursby has designed an 8 piece series of these posters, sized to be printed at 11×17″ and you can download full resolution copies of your own.

Life is a bowl of cherries. No pain, no gain. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. These are words to live by, and now, commute by. Facing street level along No. 3 Road, the panels depict 100 common sayings in a rainbow of colours. Homage to Parenthood is one of up to nine temporary public art works residents and visitors will see throughout Richmond during the Vancouver Biennale which runs through to 2011.

The Love Lettering Project brings love letters to strangers. There’s something so inherently special about receiving words of love folded up inside an envelope, a ritual that has been lost in our increasingly technological age. There’s often such a small window in which we write love letters, and with so much of our communication occurring over email or on Facebook or phones, good old-fashioned love letters are becoming extinct.
Lindsay Zier-Vogel believes in the transformative capacity of even the smallest gesture. As the objective is to explore the process of transforming strangers’ relationship to public spaces through anonymous love letters, the love letters are unsigned (without a web address, or information about the project) and exist solely for those who discover them.
Zier-Vogel has been papering North America with love letters for seven years, writing love poems that are turned into one-of-a-kind paper and thread collages and slipped them into airmail envelopes marked ‘love.’ She then distributes these love letters throughout the city – from cherry bins and phone booths to parked bikes and unsuspecting mailboxes.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation hired us, after competitive proposals from the top design firms in Canada, to develop a bilingual logo that would work equally well for Radio Canada and Radio Canada International, and to develop a comprehensive graphic standard for every aspect of the Corporation’s visual needs.
The now familiar logo concept is based on the letter “C” at the center, for Canada, visually broadcasting outward to the country and to the world. It is a logo which is, by its graphic nature, already animated, and it has lent itself to further on-air animation over the years. The graphic program included standards for stationery, vehicles, posters, billboards, banners and clothing. Nothing was left to chance.
It was a truly complete corporate identity program, which would gain in recognition and effectiveness over the years.
