Etienne Dicaire

Pride is in the air in downtown Toronto, and the most beautiful event posters I've seen this year are these stunning, fantastical collage pieces for Green Space by Montréal designer Etienne Dicaire.

Happy Pride everyone!

NDstrings

Above is a logo I recently created for NDstrings, an online service for naturopathic doctors and students to collect, organize and share their medical knowledge. Tidbits of medical treatments are often referred to as "clinical pearls" (as in pearls of wisdom), so the site allows users to creates "strings" of information (as in strings of pearls). The site is administered by Chris Roberts, Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine. Below is the branding system I created for him, as well as some screenshots of the new site.

Thanks again Chris for the opportunity to work on this. I'm excited to see how the project evolves!

Have a great weekend!

I ♥ Uppercase

A tremendous thank you to Janine from Uppercase Magazine for posting this lovely piece on the Uppercase blog yesterday. It was so much fun to attend the Show and Tell at Kid Icarus last week, and it's an honour to be featured on Type Tuesday.

Additional thanks to Erin for lending a hand last week, and for making a special delivery back to Calgary.

Projeto de Etiqueta Urbana

Exciting news! The Urban Etiquette Project is now available in Portuguese!

A few weeks ago, I received an interview request from a journalist at Folha de São Paulo, a major Brazilian newspaper. They wanted to publish a piece on city etiquette, and use the Urban Etiquette Project as a case study.



After a few follow-up emails, I was able to translate the cards into Portuguese, and now, they have been published on their site and in a printed magazine! (I've requested a copy of the print version - please stay tuned.)



The cards are also available for download on my blog below the English and French versions.

How many translations can we do? I can't wait to find out!

Special thanks to Letícia for contacting me and making this all happen, and to Christine for her generous contribution to the translations.
