Design Is Yummy is proud to announce our recent collaboration with the Segal Centre for Performing Arts on their 2016-2017 campaign.
Last Wednesday night we were out in full force at their packed season launch party announcing their upcoming productions.
We were excited to see our custom type treatments and illustrations projected on the big screen to such a warm reception? Look out for the new graphics that will grace the centre’s brochures, program books, posters, building signs and advertising throughout the city in the coming months.
We can’t wait to check out all the shows- with such a passionate, hard working and talented group, they’re no doubt going to be incredible! Congrats to our clients on such a successful evening! Call (514) 739-7944 to subscribe to their upcoming season’s productions. Click here to read more about the project and see more details of the artwork.

As a company founded by a female entrepreneur, we were thrilled to partner up with Artistri Sud– a non-profit organization based in Montreal with a strong focus on empowering women artisans in developing countries. With the collaboration of local communities, Artistri Sud helps women access global markets to sell their handcrafted goods and create a sustainable income to better themselves and the people surrounding them. In order to raise funds, Artistri Sud organized the upcoming event “Tales of Triumph” where inspiring women share their stories of empowerment and success. For the year of 2016, Design is Yummy was honoured to donate our time to create this powerful typographic invitation and web graphics with the hopes of raising attention and awareness to such wonderful cause.
As our work schedule settles back to its normal pace after the holidays, we can’t help but think back to all the fun we had creating custom holiday materials for our clients over the past few months. Using different styles, mediums, sizes and finishes, we were able to personalize our clients’ marketing materials to achieve delicious, lasting impressions for their businesses.
Here are a couple of examples of our recent holiday work:
These fun inspirational posters and printed envelopes were created for Real Estate Agent Mark-André Martel from Sutton Group. The card starts with a simple illustration, followed by a personal message from the Martel Team and helpful real-estate advice for the new year. As the card opens, a beautiful typographic poster unfolds with an message that sparkles joy and inspiration during the season. We also designed a French version. Mais oui!
Niskamoon Corporation was looking to give their clients and staff a more traditional card with their own flare. By taking advantage of a beautiful Northern landscape photograph, we created this tri-lingual corporate card that screams “Happy Holidays!”
Autonomy Capital, a New York based investment company, wanted to get away from generic online card-making to create something more personalized. We were able to translate their idea into a classy holiday card with beautiful pattern and lettering.
Sometimes paper isn’t the answer- especially if you’re promoting your company’s sustainable initiatives for 2016. Lovepac connected with their clients over the holidays and used the occasion to announce a new offering. Our team created the perfect image to honour their new environmentally friendly program.
Holiday cards keep your company fresh in your customers minds during the coming new year. They help you keep your business relations on a personal level by giving you the opportunity to send a friendly “hey” and “thank you” to your customers without asking for anything in return.
Mugs hold our daily fuel…coffee/tea/water….pencils…
What better way to brighten your day than using your own personalized mug?
Custom printed mugs are a cost effective way to promote your business, organization or event! Imagine dozens of people walking around a fundraiser advertising your business.
Check out the hot custom mugs we created for our studio with our designers’ nicknames fully loaded with our studio’s brand colours and our “we don’t take ourselves too seriously” attitude.
We’ve also got some special mugs for our client meetings that aren’t pictured here- you’ll have to come in to sip from those!
Holidays are all about sharing, connecting, and giving. We are super stoked to finally be able to share our holiday greeting card for 2015. The idea for the design was sparked by the notion that “By giving we become open to receiving more than we have”. For the front of the card, we made sure the viewer’s eyes would be drawn first to the inclusive message “Merry Everything”. (It is after-all a holiday card!) Surrounding the holiday message are bilingual inspirational quotes, holiday themed messages and intricate geometric line-art. The white line art pops on the dark gray background and of course there are accents of our hot pink brand colour scattered throughout the illustrations as well. At first glace the offset printed card seems flat, but the brightly coloured twine at the bottom hints that there’s more to this piece than meets the eye. The printed cards have been perforated with a custom die that makes it possible to pop out 5 of the messages to use as gift tags. The die cuts at the bottom of the cards keep the pink thread neatly stored ready to attach the tags provided to those holiday gifts. For the back, we added a variation of the pattern in a delicate gray on white so as not to distract from a personalized, hand-written message written on each card. White envelopes just wouldn’t do justice for these cards, so we free-style lettered the recipient’s names and addresses on silver mirror paper and inserted them with the cards into transparent A9 envelopes. One of our favourite features of the project is the hot pink round return address stickers placed on the front of the envelopes. These fun and interactive cards were designed to stand out in a sea of holiday mail. We hope they’ve helped our customers Share the Joy this holiday season!
We celebrated this holiday season in style!
Around 6 months ago, our Founder Elana discovered a deep, dark secret about her fellow employees – none of them had ever eaten at Montreal’s famous Gibbys restaurant. Baffled, she immediately decided (6 months in advance) that we would absolutely, without any hesitation, have our holiday dinner at Gibbys.
Flash forward to a few nights ago when the Design Is Yummy team hit up Gibby’s in Old Montreal to enjoy one hella classy night filled with steak, kebabs and endless Monte Carlo potatoes. 2015 was a big year for our studio and a solid celebration was well overdue! We’re entering 2016 full and excited to see what surprises the year will hold.
Happy Holidays from our family to yours. Cheers!
