The month of March has really brought us so many new project opportunities. We’re happy to show off another first – LEARNING ON THE JOB a fully illustrated and designed book by your friendly group of designers. The book showcases different life careers and the inspiring lessons we can learn from them. Every job has its own personalize illustration mixing simple and intricate designs in a sketch-like style vector art. The combination of visual representations and text helps create an aesthetically pleasing book which intensifies the reader’s reaction and inspires the ideas the client is trying to get across. The final artwork features black, turquoise, and marigold tones; colours that make the pages bright, energetic rich, and fun to look at. Take a peek at some of the pages created for this wonderful project:

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.

 

In the Spanish municipality of Llanera, the Kaos Temple was handed over to artist Okuda San Miguel as a creative project. Given carte blanche on the interior of the old church, San Miguel traded pews for ramps, while bringing low-poly illustrations and vibrant colour to the space! Known internationally as La Iglesia Skate, the colourful church has become a hot spot, attracting tourists and skaters alike from far and beyond.

How gorgeous is the new iOS iPad game Monument Valley by ustwo? The Escher-inspired game challenges players to create movable architectural elements. The colour scheme alone is enough to make us want to play! Check out the video below to learn more about the creative process behind this beautifully colourful game.

 

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!

Having fun with some stop motion to promote our custom holiday card services (both printed and digital).
