It’s campaign season and the Liberal Party recently unveiled its new tour bus.

While we dig the overall design and messaging, if you look closely, you’ll notice that something is not quite right.

This is how the text was meant to display:

In the bus wrapping, the font for “CHANGE” has been replaced with MyriadPro. This is the default font Adobe uses when a file contains a non-installed font. The replacement font gives the impression of odd kerning (those gaps between the letters). The best way to avoid this mistake is to convert text to outlines (shapes rather than letters) in the final artwork, which only takes two clicks.

It’s time for real change…real change of your designer.

Bus-ted.

Our team hit the town for some down time and bonding tonight at Pang Pang Karaoke! We enthusiastically sang our hearts out and discovered that we should probably stick to design.

I know we’ve been a little quiet on the blog front the past few months. I swear it’s because we’ve been hard at work on client projects and developing a new website for Design Is Yummy (launch expected next month!). To prove we’re still alive and kicking creatively, here are some pics from our team dinner last night at La Petite Mangue toasting the new menu designs we created for the Montreal restaurant.
