Design for Print
City of Glass Monograph
images
description
"Ciy of Glass" an article written by Seri Olson, AIA is a Print Production project. My concept for this project was to photograph Vancouver's glass structures and have a very stuctural look and feel for the layout. I chose to have clear san serif. The book is a 8x8 inch square format and all images are duotoned to reflect the blue greenish look of Vancouver glass structures.
BOP Mag
images
description
We had to re-imagine an existing magazine, book, website, etc. and change its visual language and/or medium for a typography class with Peter Cocking. I chose BOP Magazine, a trashy teenie bopper magazine which has misguided advice on how to talk to your crush as well as boring gossip about tween stars I've never even heard of. It was fun.

The Fight for Quebec!
images
description
This typographic exercise was intended to examine context and challenge our associations with established ways of visualizing content. The directive was to select written content from a well known source and visualize it in an entirely different context “breaking the seal” of what the viewer would expect to see. For this project I chose to use an article from The Beaver (now Canada’s History Magazine) on England and France’s struggle for dominance in the new world and re-imagine it as a poster series using the colourful visual language from 1980’s and 90’s wrestling icons as a jumping off point.
Clean Before You Cross: Campaign for Vancouver Coastal Health
images
description
This team project, with Katie Blank and Tia Blunden, for Vancouver Coastal Health, was intended to help boost hand hygiene compliance among hospital staff and visitors alike. The concept for the campaign centers around the idea of implying a physical barrier between the hospital and the outside world implying that the former is clean and the latter... not so much. When people enter the hospital, they cross a blue line that reminds them to “Clean Before You Cross” with sanitization stations close at hand to provide the necessities for compliance. Additional promotional material is used throughout the hospital to maintain the need for hand hygiene using direct language and a bit of wit to remind everyone to clean their hands.

Clean Hands for Health Campaign
images
description
A group project for Vancouver Coastal Health to increase hand washing compliance in hospitals for patients, visitors and staff. Our resultant campaign was often referred to as "the blue line campaign" although it covers many areas of the hospital. Our campaign was versatile and cost effective, and could easily accomodate more messaging.
