Aviatrix Illustration And Design

The Salvation Army is channeling old-world aesthetics in their fresh business card, a design collaboration I enjoyed with Curitus.org. The client wanted a vintage-looking design that honoured SA's roots; Kraft paper helped complete the look.

When I get a brochure gig, it's an exciting technical and narrative challenge. Gatefold brochures are especially great for telling a story, which is what I proposed for the U of A's Injury Prevention Centre. Their team excels at creating strong, clear messages and it was fun to make them visual.

In this ad for Beaumont Credit Union, we opted for some hand-drawn doodles to create a youthful look. BCU was looking to advertise its no-fee student bank account, which is intended to help young people get started on their financial future. As they look out at the hand drawn landscape, each hiker sees a different "adventure" -- post-secondary, moving out, buying a car, travel, etc. We felt that illustration helped convey the idea of dreaming about the future. It was a very collaborative process and I love how it turned out!

I can explain those crazy price quotes for your logo design -- all in my latest article: http://www.aviatrixdesign.ca/why-are-logo -prices-so-insane/ #logodesign #branding #brandingdesign #freelance #designbusiness #startups #entrepreneur #marketing #marketingbusiness #yegbusiness #yegdesigner #yegartist #newbusiness #ownbusiness

Excited for Productions Loft Inc.'s release of How to be French en Alberta: North! It's a French language series of documentary shorts exploring the rich cultural history and unique lifestyle of Franco Albertans. I got to help out behind the scenes with the logo design plus some promotional graphics. For this series, co-producers and directors Steve Jodoin and Marie-France Guerrette wanted a modern, minimalist, but colourful look to convey the diverse stories being showcased.

Fresh off the press! Devon's new Visitor Guide is in the bag, and it was a real big job. My editor Pat wrote all the content, and I did design and layout for the whole book. This tourism guide showcases hidden gems and attractions in and around town. They let me do a fun illustration overlaying the cover image, plus experiment with some unconventional layouts! But we know it's the happy doggos that really sell this piece.

A cool project I got to work on with Productions Loft Inc.! Check out these majestic horses, man.

I wrote an article about DIY design and a big challenge that comes with it. Have a look!

Creatives and free labour -- a touchy subject! I wrote a blog post about it. Should they work for free?

Check out this very cool documentary I got to make designs for, Les Cordes de la Victiore / The Strings of Victory! It's a wonderful story about three young Canadian fiddlers. Worth it for the music alone!

A little something seasonal:

Jenna helped me take the design for my new website from okay to amazing. Before we started I had a couple of possible ideas for the design that I told Jenna about. Well she took the ideas I had and made them so much better than I could have ever imagined. Right from the start of working with Jenna she was professional, courtesy, and great to communicate with. Not only did Jenna make sure to understand what I needed for my website, but she also quickly responded to any questions or concerns I had. When I accidentally broke something with my website’s design she was able to get it fixed right away. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jenna, and I would highly recommend Aviatrix Designs for anyone in need of a graphic designer.

If anyone needs this type of service. Jenna is way past awesome.

I'm very proud of my wife, Jenna! After 7 years in the industry, she is now a freelance designer and has just launched Aviatrix Design and Illustration!

Awesome!
