This marks our fifth consecutive year collaborating with Niskamoon Corporation on their Annual Report design. The perfect-bound book features an embossed cover and custom, abstract nature-inspired illustrations that reflect the beautiful Cree landscape and culture.
The design for this report won a Communicator Award.
We are in love with these posters made for The BC Ski Challenge Campaign; an annual fundraiser benefiting the Ronald McDonald House.
While this fundraising focuses on skiing and snowboarding, there are other fun activities for those who don’t want to venture up the hills. There are cooking classes, spa days, and more…
Cossette Vancouver targeted all audiences by creating vintage inspired posters with double meaning illustrations encouraging everyone to join the weekend activities both on and off the slopes.
The colour palette revolves around pastels, a trend that has been circulating in arts and design in 2017 and we absolutely love it!

We love illustrating…almost as much as we love respecting our planet and keepin’ it green. Our clients, Realterm Energy, are leading providers of energy-efficient, turnkey LED street lighting solutions for cities. We’ve been their go-to design team for quite some time and were thrilled to create these custom icons and illustrations to be used in their Smart City initiatives.
Our goal was to have the icons properly visualize the applications in the simplest way possible while staying true to their brand identity.
The end results are lively, clean and corporate, which matches perfectly with the company’s tenacious spirit.
Colouring books for adults have been super popular this past year. This idea has been to the next level thanks to Windsor Vineyards’ color-it-yourself wine labels. The winery created a line of black and white line-art labels to satisfy the arts-and-crafts drinking enthusiast in all of us. When ordering one of their 50 wine options, you are able to customize its label by choosing from a repertoire of mandala patterns. You also have the option to add messages; a feature that provides you with flexible text editing options to change the font, color, size, and even the spacing. Love it! Wine not get creative?

Chris Piascik is a graphic designer who had the idea of making a new drawing every single day for 2000 days. The amazing result “accidentally” turned him into an illustrator, and he couldn’t be happier. His illustrations are bold, fun and witty in well-executed patterns and smooth gif animations. Piascik is also big on hand-lettering. A lot of his pieces are inspired by TV shows, political commentaries, and other news related events. His style has attracted great clientele like Nickelodeon, Converse, and Absolute Vodka. Today, Piascik continues to make daily illustrations. Check out a collection of Piascik drawings below and get inspired to work out those art-muscles!

The Taxi Fabric Project – creating fabrics that speak – is a platform and opportunity for young, india-based artists to gain exposure and showcase their work to the outside world through public taxi cabs. The project has brought together creatives from across the country to canvas the interiors (and by interiors, we mean every surface inside the taxi) with their graphic or illustrative compositions. In India, taxi cabs are the most common and practical forms of transportation. Their popular use have consequently made them an important aspect of India’s daily life and social culture. However, little attention is given to the cars’ aesthetics. The taxi fabric team explains: “Design — as a job or studied at school — is unfortunately not widely recognized in India. Older generations don’t understand it.” The purpose of the project is to enforce that design does indeed serve to perform a function. But mainly, design is communication, and can serve to create social impact through storytelling. The project gives designers the opportunity to show off their visual communication skills, all the while bringing more joy and colour to everyone’s travelling in India.
Moleskine recently launched a new set of tools simplifying the transfer of files across digital platforms. Say goodbye to having to always scan your sketchbooks to digitize your work. The new Moleskine Smart Writing Set does all the work for you (except your drawings, of course). The set consists of a book and pen that work simultaneously to transfer your work. Each page of the ‘Paper Tablet’ is concealed with NCode™ technology, which enables the pen to digitize your sketches in real-time. The ‘Pen+’ contains a hidden camera within its body, allowing it to read everything the user writes or draws. Check out how it works!
