It was about time for another team outing and what better place then seeing a production of Once– a Tony Award winning Musical at the Segal Centre for Performing Arts. We loved seeing our graphics (current and past seasons) adoring the building and lobby at the Segal.

The heart-warming production is a tale of love and taking chances and was a wonderful start to the Segal Centre’s 2018/19 Season. It’s a definite a must see for theatre fans. Filled with witty characters, wonderful music and talented actors the show is great for all ages. The show wraps this weekend, so if you haven’t seen it yet, don’t miss out! Get tickets to see Once at the Segal.

 

 

Last night, our team hit up the Segal Centre for Performing Arts to celebrate 10 years of Segal Centre, and 30 years of theatre in one incredible place. The lobby was filled to the brim with proud supporters, theatre goers, the arts community, and famous faces!For the second consecutive year, Design Is Yummy had the privilege of collaborating with the Segal Centre for Performing Arts on their season graphics. With the 2017-2018 theatre season marking its 10 year anniversary, we excitedly took on the 6 upcoming production graphics, program book and celebratory marketing materials. Our goal was simple: make this year’s campaign special, engaging all the while topping our successful award-winning work from last year. (Sounds simple enough, right?)

Starting the lineup this year is Hockey Sweater: The Musical, based on the timeless short-story Le Chandail de Hockey by Quebec author Roch Carrier (who made an appearance at last night’s launch party!) . The show is produced in collaboration with Alive375, for the celebration of the city of Montreal’s 375th anniversary.

Returning to the Segal Centre this campaign season is Bad Jews, the highly praised original play. The exciting theatre season also includes the 2015 Pulitzer Prize finalist Marjorie Prime, the acclaimed Shaw Festival Production “Master Harold”…and The Boys, Golda’s Balcony– the longest one-woman show in Broadway history starring Emmy-award winner Tovah Feldshuh, and the beautiful story of musical legends Edith Piaf and Marlene Dietrich The Angel and The Sparrow. Check ’em out!

We had such a blast at last night’s season launch party. Celebrating with the theatre community, our incredible clients, friends & family, great food & drinks, and showing off the art we’ve been working so hard on over the past few months was incredible. We’re so proud! (Can you tell?)

Once again, Niskamoon Corporation chose our team to design of their 2015-2016 Annual Report. The 8.5” x 10.5” report showcases another year of success for the corporation, honouring their dedication to preserve Cree traditions and featuring a local photographer’s work with breathtaking captures of Cree landscape and culture. For the printing, a raised spot UV finish of the company’s logomark feather is featured on the cover page. We also bound the pages using hidden spiral binding. This makes the book stong and still keeps a spine with a perfect bound look. Shorter pages separate every chapter of the report in bold colours with topographic lines representing their connection to their land.

The fully hidden spiral binding combines the advantages and sturdiness of wire-o-binding and the sleekness of perfect binding – a very professional and long-lasting look. Finally, these were accompanied by a matching 4” x 8” trifold brochure.

We’re proud to show off our latest brand initiative – our new, custom print portfolios! From the non-standard format to the unique typography we created for each volume, we took custom to a whole new level on this one.

 

Each (hidden) spiral bound book contains pocket folders, giving us the freedom to change up the pieces we include to keep the books current. Our business card folder contains slits for us to insert examples of our favourite cards. We took full advantage of the opportunity to show off some of our favourite client work by turning our portfolio folders into creative works themselves. We can’t wait to show these bad boys off!
