As part of Print Production we were asked to design a series of 3 personal business cards. The files were set up to be printed on a professional press. We were able to follow the the press printing process by approving proofs and visiting Hemlock Printing Press in Vancouver during the process.

The goal of this project was to combine image and text in a harmonious manner. I decided to address the issue of avalanche awareness, in a booklet titled "Out-of-bounds." I was able to work with professionals at the Canadian Avalanche Association (CAC) in order to develop the text and imagery for the pamphlet.
