Canadian Animal Series III
October 18th, 2010
Design: Lawrie McIntosh and Greg Ball
Client:
Date: 2010
The Canadian Animal Series began in 1960 when the province of Manitoba sponsored a Canadian souvenir competition in anticipation of the national centennial in 1967. Industrial designer Lawrie McIntosh entered and won the competition with a series of animal figures that were created by folded sheets of vinyl. Larger copper versions of the award-winning animals were sold across Canada throughout the 1970s, selling over 1000 units.
Four decades later, a third series of animals is now available. This series can be purchased as a PDF file that is printed at home on card stock and then folded and glued by the user. Series 3 celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of this award-winning design.

Great to have him describe the process from start to finish. Fantastic. Great initiative Greg! Let’s keep it going. Interview a designer today… Should be apart of every design course.

Ever since seeing the CDR posting back in May 2009 on these wonderful souvenirs I’ve been checking back time and again. Wow, really wonderful to see this new 3.0 version. Thanks Lawrie & friends. Appreciate your efforts.
