New Work: Event Posters/Rack Cards for Royal Oak Burial Park
(October 14, 2011)
I had the great pleasure of working with Paula Jardine and Royal Oak Burial Park earlier this spring on a series of event posters and rack cards promoting various events at the Park. I collaborated with Ian Finlayson to create the beautiful illustrations which really brought the designs to life. The events were very well attended and the venues & businesses displaying the posters were all more than happy to have them up in their windows (many asked for extras). I’m looking forward to carrying on the series with next year’s events.

New work: 2011 Glass Ornament for BC Ferries
(October 5, 2011)

This year’s hand-blown Ted Jolda ornament promotion for BC Ferries will be onboard in just a few days. For the past three years, I’ve worked with Ferries to create an arresting series of materials that showcases the beauty of the ornaments in their onboard retail stores. Each year has been a great success, with the ornaments selling out early.
This year’s may be my favourite with its rich purple and green colours – check it out in Passages Gift Shop while onboard. You can also view the work from past years’ promotions in my portfolio.
Social Media Camp Victoria 2011: A Review

For those of you who didn’t go to this year’s Social Media Camp (SMCV11) – and maybe even for those that did – I’ve decided to write a brief review of my experience. Hopefully you find it helpful. (more…)
New Work: Abeego Brand Identity
(April 14, 2011)

Sometimes a great project never sees the light of day; this is one of those.
Last year I created a new graphic identity for a small but established company that makes a great product: Abeego. If you live in Victoria, you may have run across it. Unfortunately, despite everyone being really happy with the work, internal changes at the company caused the new identity to be shelved. So while you won’t get to see it in stores, it’s still a project I’m proud of. Check it out in the Portfolio section.
New Year, New Work: DEC
(January 4, 2011)
What better way to ring in the new year than with a fresh identity and website.
DEC is an innovative engineering firm that is pushing into some very exciting territory: district energy sharing. Imagine reducing the energy and water consumption for a building, a development and even an entire municipality by as much as 50%. The new techniques and technology being developed – and installed – by DEC are achieving some impressive results, but their identity and presentation wasn’t reflecting this.

Very nice (as usual) Matt – you do the photography as well?
The artist supplied the photo; I did all the colour correction & retouching. The colours were so cool to work with.
