Day of Issue + Cancellation Marks

I recently uploaded some stamps for my last project (check older posts) and this is a continuation of that where we had to make their "day of issue" envelope and a "cancellation mark".

The French translation is not really a translation (she wasn't marking our French) I just put the entire english text in google translation and pasted it in there... I am aware that is not the way to translate text... :)

i decided to go with the Canada Goose on my cancellation mark because the show is about different types of planes, so it felt wrong to put a single airplane...

Typography 3 Project 3



A poster about 5-15 typefaces of our choice... I chose display typefaces, and the rational is on the very right side of the poster so I won't repeat it here... The printed thing is 59"x10.5" By far the biggest thing I've ever printed...!
It reads "DISPLAY" in the negative space... It looks less obvious when you look at the actual poster which makes it more interesting when you do realize... The idea for that actually goes to my friend Alex at ocad, he saw me doing this and thought it would be cool if I wrote something in the negative space, which turned out to be a major part of the poster composition! Thanks Alex, check out some of his works here: http://giantdays.tumblr.com/

Stamps!





Stamps to commemorate something Canadian! I chose to make my stamps about the air show, and specifically the planes that are significant and iconic to Canada's aviation history (I don't have a "thing" for planes, but they are very cool!)
So this project specifically said we had to make 3 of a series, so consistency was a factor... Also the 57 and CANADA are required.

Viking ship

I did this at school, on and off, during "i was bored" breaks... collectively about 3-4 hours

My friend thought of the viking ship

Publication Design, Annual report




We had to make 3 spreads for an annual report for a company/organization of our choice. I chose Audi because lately my brother has been obsessed with getting one and it was the first company that came to my mind. I actually like the company now I have been successfully brainwashed after looking at their past annual reports.

My concept is to have the annual report for 2010 move toward a more "in the context of the user" direction. I looked at their past reports and they used a lot of stylized photographs before and rarely showed the vehicle in the context of the user. But looking at their 2010 first quarterly report I was disappointed to see one of those motion blur kind of pictures with the car, it made it look cheap and less elegant. SOOOoooo.... I thought if that is the direction they want to go to (as opposed to the stylized pictures) they can still convey the elegance of the car when it is parked.

So yeah I searched the interwebz for pictures of Audi cars in that sort of position... for 3 days.. that's right, it took me three days because I needed super high resolution pics... and finally here it is...

the middle spread is a content spread. Audi has a habit of giving themselves good adjectives followed by their logo.. so I though.. okay.... u like good adjectives and logo why not make a table of content with just that!? Each circle is a chapter: Originality, Understanding, Precision, Sustainability. And the ares they overlap are sub chapters: Originality and Understanding result in "Cult Icon". Understanding and Precision result in "Success", Precision and Sustainability result in "Efficiency"...

And finally the last spread is a spread of one of their articles, the text is mostly gibberish because in terms of deign it doesn't make much difference. On the left there is an info-graph though... see if you can figure out what its saying.
