description
Gordon's Park Eco Resort is a unique outdoor destination and dark sky preserve on Manitoulin Island in Tehkummak Ontario. Offering wilderness campsites, astronomy, bird watching, wildlife viewing, star parties, summertime calendar of events and much more.
This project was an event campaign for Gordon's Park's event "Meteors, Northern Lights and the Heavens Above". The concept designed for this event was "A Different Kind of Dark", contrasting the night sky of urban cities with the unparalled dark sky of Gordon's Park. Collateral included posters, handbills, mail-out invitations and window decals/installations.
AU Magazine

description
Publication design for a fictional magazine about the science of astronomy and its relation to other areas of interest, such as art, fashion and literature. The magazine was named AU, for astronomical units, a unit of measure in astronomy. This project combined two of my most passionate interests: print design and astronomy. The magazine is intended for youth and young adults, and tries to break conventions by incorporating a motif of diagonal lines throughout the publication.
The Pale Blue Dot

description
A large-scale poster (17" x 50") partially inspired by vintage woodcut posters. The poster contains an eclectic mix of typefaces, spelling out a famous excerpt from Cosmos by Carl Sagan, an astromoner and writer, and a personal hero of mine. The poster itself is dark blue, like the night sky, and the text is coloured in a gradient that goes from grey to blue to orange, like a sunset. The infamous "pale blue dot" is at the top of the poster, providing an early context for the viewer before they understand that the dot represents Earth.
