You’re Awesome: Holiday Card Teaser from Design Is Yummy on Vimeo.


In case you missed it, Kraft created this great Mother’s Day ad featuring Melissa Mohr, the author of Holy Sh*t: A Brief History of Swearing.Sometimes moms have a potty mouth, and that is perfectly fine with us.A Kraft study revealed that 74% of moms admit to swearing in front of their kids while the other 26% are full of sh*t. Being a parent ain’t easy, and like Kraft, we embrace all those perfectly imperfect moms and mom moments.
Looking back on some sweet times in the past year, and looking forward to an exciting new year ahead! See you in 2017!
Year in Review from Design Is Yummy on Vimeo.

What an uplifting campaign for SickKids in Toronto! Instead of playing on the deflated feeling of being sick, Chief Creative Office Carlos Moreno from Cossette envisioned an empowering video showing the strength and bravery of the patients in their personal battles. Stepping away from their past sentimental campaigns is a fierce and bold move. Even though the message is strength over sadness, this “VS” campaign still brings a tear to our eyes. Watch this empowering video below!

A P.S.A to all the print lovers out there – if you haven’t heard of the new documentary Graphic Means, prepare to get excited. Graphic Means is a documentary that explores the technological advancements in graphic design, specifically typesetting, over the past 30 years. The desktop computer revolutionized and shaped the way our industry interacts with type and print. To learn a little more about the documentary, visit the official Graphic Means website. You can also pre-order the film here.
Since our inception, Design Is Yummy has had a strict no spec work policy. For more on this, check out our spec work policy in the FAQ section of this site. While it’s not something most reputable studios do, spec work unfortunately continues to be rampant in the design industry. Recently Toronto ad agency Zulu Alpha Kilo decided to speak out with a bold video to show that if you actually think about it, the process of spec work is completely irrational. We’re hoping videos like this help educate the public on spec work and help to see it’s decline.

Over the past couple of months, thousands of people from around the world have submitted nearly seven thousand videos and photographs to produce a crowd sourced video set to an acoustic version of Coldplay’s famous track “In My Place”.

The concept and film was created by award winning director Mat Whitecross, in association with Oxfam, to echo the dislocation and displacement thousands of families experience as a result of land grabs. He created this film featuring thousands of Coldplay fans, including singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran and rock band Wolf Gang was launched to highlight the injustice of land grabs.

Mat Whitecross: “Crowd-sourcing is a really exciting way to give creative power to the public. As a long-term supporter of Oxfam, I was keen to help and take on the challenge. I felt a huge responsibility to produce something that lived up to the commitment of the fans who had given their time and shared their voices to make real change. My parents were refugees so the issue of displacement, home and belonging are really important to me. I hope that the film helps bring the injustices caused by land grabs to a much wider audience. This is something we should all know about.”

Music with a message.
