Title: Black Dogs
Description: I used to work at
Black Dog Video and was super
excited when they asked me
to do some advertising for their
promotions. Designing for movies,
music and TV is my dream job.

Title: Paul’s People
Description: My cross section of
business cards which includes this
new thread of my own branding. I
love how the typography reminds of
me a retro sneaker company. I think
it’s got soul and the manipulation of
the sizing and color makes it super
easy which is intregral to any real
winning design,
The middle card was for a client
who is just starting out as a sound
engineer. We sat down together for
an hour and banged this out pretty
quick. It’s nice when they have a
clear idea of what they want and
don’t mind watching you work.
The bottom card is actually a reject
for a client’s production studio
company. He was happy was the
one with the one he decided upon
but I always liked this other version
This was my revisit which I much
prefer and might repersuade him to
adopt as the more deserved logo.

4. Title: I Drink Beer (When I’m Not Drinking Wine)
Description: A rebrand of the original 1957 Pacific Pilsner design including
their first sailboat and waves. I loved the old school look and blue and white
combination and after working a decade in the liquor industry, I know the
clientele firsthand and they keep it simple. The rich navy blue would also fit
in perfectly with the dark forest green of their #1 selling beer, Caribou.
Title: The Sasquicentennial
Description: Serendipity is a
wonderful thing. I had thought about
using a sasquatch as part of the
branding and while researching
what gifts to give to a 150 year
old for their birthday, I learned the
name of the anniversary was the
sesquicentennial, The play on words
was too good to pass up and the
message wrote itself. Well, not
really, it was me.

5. Title: Issues
Description: The editor over at Gargoyle Publications
approached me to work on their latest ‘zine. The article
had been written by Becca Clarkson and the illustrations
were done by Peter Warkentin but I took that work and
laid it out using personalized character and paragraph
styles I developed in InDesign.
Title: Farce
Description: Class project of predominantly of my own photos and writing with one article being copyright
free material. Styled after the more humourous aspects of magazines like Esquire, GQ and The New Yorker. I
ended up learning a lot on what does make one find something funny.

6. Title: Enough Information
Description: We were paired with different
departments to develop new branding.
There are many versions but these were
voted the top three with the largest one
being chosen to represent the school’s
learning centres on various campuses.
Title: Day/Night
Description: The main poster was actually
my second choice. However, in retrospect I
think it’s the more solid design and I would
chose to work with that again with the
invention of time travel.
Title: Crumbs & Fingers
Description: Class project where we
were randomly assigned fairy tales
and themes. I was asked to make a
comedy out of Hansel & Gretel. I did
some research and leaned towards a
German-Canadian brother & sister cop
duo. The bottom right design is my nod
to 80s foreign movie posters but the
first poster was the final submission
and one of my favorites.

7. Title: Webslinger
Description: My first hand coded
responsive web site. It’s a portfolio site
I put together to showcase my work. It
takes real strategy and a lot of trial and
error to get these to behave properly
and it was extremely rewarding to know
that I can build my own little corners of
the internet with plenty of hashtags,
semi-colons and parantheses.
Title: You’re In The Army Now, Font
Description: A photographic essay highlighing the little things
and turning them into something much bigger. I do have plans to
revisit this method in the future as it’s an inventive method to
create organic forms of typography.

8. Title: The Spoiler Room Covers
Description: I’ve been running Facebook groups for
years. The Spoiler Room was the first one and it’s
based around television and movies. It still receives
hundreds of comments a day and has spawned over
+100 plus cover photos based around the word
‘spoiler’, these are some of my favorites including the
5 year anniversary cover which includes the 134 that
were done by that time.
