Website: Little Bees Photography

Here are two versions of an ad we created for the Prairie Fuel Advisors to use in their Manitoba campaign. The first we had a bit of fun with, the second being more serious. Which one do you think was ran in the end?

Advertisement: City of Wetaskiwin

Two advertisements that we did for the City of Wetaskiwin. “Rethink” was designed for Alberta Venture and needed to skew to an economic development audience. “Living Costs Less”, on the other hand, was placed in an annual map publication and was meant to show a different, softer side of Wetaskiwin.

Poster: Welcome to Summer BBQ

Part of our work for the Wetaskiwin Tomorrow project.

They needed something a little different to attract people BBQ dealing with sustainability. Because of the subject matter – a little dry – we tried to spice things up a little bit with humour and some minimalist design.

Poster: Take A Picture

Part of our work for the Wetaskiwin Tomorrow project.

We hadn’t plan on doing another poster but the quality of the entries was just so good it was decided it was worth promoting the contest and the photographs.

Working with the City of Wetaskiwin and the Wetaskiwin Tomorrow initiative, we’ve been doing some design work to help promote their various contests, events and other publicity materials.

High fall harvest demand, a strong trucking sector, plus both scheduled and unscheduled issues with refineries in Alberta all add up to not enough Diesel for farmers, truck drivers, municipalities and anyone else depending on Diesel.

AAMDC Advisor

The premier issue of the AAMDC Advisor was sent out today. It’s the first and only email newsletter for the AAMDC that’s HTML-based and not an attached PDF.

uc\c was asked to create something that drew attention to the free fuel analysis feature of the Prairie Fuel Advisors program.

The PFA wanted something with a clean design that highlighted the programs strengths. We started with a stark image of an empty fuel tank contrasted it with lots of white space and minimal text.

Business Cards: JR Consulting

After designing the logo for JR Consulting, we were asked to create some business cards.

Logo: JR Consulting

The logo the we developed for JR Consulting came out of ariel images of Alberta’s landscape.

Four fields of green are bordered by deep brown dirt roads. What’s unique about the logo is that it’s purposely messy – the colours don’t stay in the lines or even in what would traditionally be called the “logo”. It captures a professional, yet distinctly rural feel.
