Grey Area
Fall 2010 Grad Project

Trying my hand at black and white photography did not impress me. I constantly fought the urge to capture the colours that captured me. I  went through countless rolls of film only to be disappointed when all that developed were shades of grey. Although I knew they would turn  out this way, and some were really quite beautiful, I was still disappointed. I longed to revisit the vivid colour that I remembered photographing.

This monograph re-contextualizes the essay by Gina M. Matillo and Chris J.

In this project the student was given a selection of recipes from a cookbook. The challenge lies in displaying the cuisine of the recipes without using images. Being a cookbook showcasing Canadian chefs using local ingredients David chose the Canadian designed font CartierBook to set the tone of the cookbook. A wood grain was used on the cover to give the piece a rustic and handmade feel.

One of the two graduation projects. This project focused on how students at Emily Carr University plan their life. The current planner offered at Emily Carr University does not provide any freedom for students to use and expand their creativity.

This planner introduces the students to a mesh of a planner and a sketchbook. The purpose of this project was not to design something "pretty" but really focus on how the students learn, sketch, plan etc. It was more about trials after trials of testing the product and seeing how students used the redesigned planner. 

The planner has fine grid lines to help the user use the line in any way they want. On top of that, the bottom 1/3 of the page is perforated which helps with ripping out the pages for note taking etc.

Pele is the Goddess of fire, dance, lightening and volcanoes. I chose one of many stories about her for this typography fairytale project. Pele's black hair of lava, her fierce fire of red, and contrasting warm, peaceful Hawaiian climate all inspired the design of the book.
