In an increasingly disposable culture, there is still room for carefully-made, long-lasting design.
A large wall calendar featuring photography by Evan Lachmanec. Designed to showcase Evan’s photos and preserve his original compositions uncropped, the dates of the month are aligned in a single row at the bottom of each page.
An EP from singer-songwriter Maita Waters. The cover photo is closely cropped, obscuring its legibility and creating a simple, dynamic image. The image—a body in motion, turning away from the viewer—evokes the EP’s recurring themes of movement and restlessness.
Creating a monogram, combing multiple letters into one symbol, is usually an act of addition. For British writer George Aldous, the opposite approach—that of subtraction. By simply removing part of an ‘a’, we have strong graphic symbol that some viewers read as a ‘G’ and others read as an ‘a’.
Dakelh is the language of the Yinka Déné, a people indigenous to central BC. This wall calendar was made to aid Dakelh language learning. The calendar is printed on double-sided A4 sheets—one side for each of Dakelh’s two writing systems.
The Worker Solidarity Network supports and advocates for non-unionized workers. The 2022 annual report was mailed to attendees of that year’s AGM. Due to WSN not having many print-quality photos, visual interest is achieved primarily through the use of typographic scale and data visualizations.
