Apparel for Nelson Whynder Elementary

Nelson Whynder Elementary used a variation of the graphic that we designed for them on apparel to help encourage students to have respect for their self, others, learning and their environment. They produced it in t-shirts and hoodies in a range of colours and sizes. The shirts and hoodies have become very popular among community members affiliated with the school.

Designing the Stop Sign

I'll be G*d Damned if a lot of my projects don't go exactly like this :). This is an oldy but a goody that the good folks at QBN reminded me of just now.

The Ends Of The Earth Poster Design

Our latest project for DalTheatre gave us the opportunity to play with image manipulation in a way that we rarely do, using Halifax as our canvas. (No Halifax streets were harmed during the production of this poster :)). For the first production of their 2012-13 season we were also able to use the incredible art work of DalTheathre's Custume Studies lecturer, John Pennoyer which captured the mood of the play perfectly. The play was written by Morris Panych and will be directed by Margot Dionne. The Ends Of The Earth runs from October 17th to October 20th at Dalhousie's David Mack Murray Theatre and looks to be a fun one. Make sure to check it out!

Honey Dipped Candles Logo Design

This is a logo that we designed for a fabulous Bermuda based candle maker who just happens to be the cousin of our fearless leader, Glitterati Duane. Their candles are hand poured with wax sourced from Bermuda bees. The font that we used was created in-house using the honey comb as a point of reference. We uses green on the font to subtly acknowledge the client's 100% natural and environmentally conscious approach.

DalTheatre 2012-13 Season Poster Design

This is a poster that we designed and illustrated for DalTheatre's 2012-13 season and we recently had the pleasure of attending a rehearsal for their first production, "The Ends Of The Earth". We were able to meet everyone that will be involved with the play and some that will be working on the other three productions coming later in the season. This is the first time that we were able to experience a production before designing the poster so it should be interesting to see how that changes what we come up with. It was great seeing that many creative disciplines in one place working toward one goal.  One confirmed change is that unlike previous years, the look of the forth-coming posters will be dramatically different from the season poster due to a change in creative direction. We can't reveal anymore but we're excited for the challenge.

Be Glitterati on Etsy

After a few years of consideration we finally folded and opened an Etsy shop for Be Glitterati! For now we'll be selling graphic prints on wood and paintings. In time we plan to have the shirts available through there as well. In the mean time you can browse our shop here.

Glitterati Communications and Be Glitterati Logo Re-design

Original Glitterati Communications logo in use

2012 marks six years of existence for Glitterati Communications, aka the father of this Be Glitterati stuff. Four years ago, the peacock symbol and black theme became the main visual elements for the Glitterati Communications identity and its subsidiaries. It took months to design the logo but I eventually settled on the one above.

Our logo has generally received positive feedback but there is one area where it lacked in my opinion. It doesn’t read well at small sizes, which is a basic requirement of a logo. We would never design a logo with this issue for a client so addressing this problem has been an ongoing challenge. The logo's font was also an area of contention. We considered going the traditional route by using a classic font like Helvetica, but we eventually ruled that out in favour of a more edgy font (Hancock Park Laser) that reflected Glitterati's energy more accurately. Last year, while developing ideas for the Be Glitterati product line we designed letters for a t-shirt design that eventually became a whole font. That font was named, “Glitterati’s Rifle”.

DalTheatre 2012-13 Season Coming Soon!

We'll be designing DalTheatre's promotional materials once again!
