This publication was produced for Forestry Innovation Investment (FII), a provincial agency that promotes British Columbia’s forest practices and products around the world. FII is a provincial crown corporation set up by the British Columbia government in 2003 to support an environmentally sustainable and prosperous forest economy in British Columbia.

FII was pleased with the Wood Fibre Opportunities booklet, and had us design their next major project – a 60-page book highlighting investment in British Columbia forestry to an international audience. The book uses the first project as a starting point for design, keeping in mind the more text-heavy informative content of the book.

The book was designed in four languages – English, Chinese, Korean and Japanese. I designed, laid out, and typeset all but the Chinese book in-house in a relatively tight time-frame. The final book layout were proofed by translation teams to ensure accuracy before the documents were printed in Asia.

Reimer Alliance International is the world leader in volumetric mixing technology, starting over 40 years ago to solve the problems associated with remote location concrete delivery.

Looking for a fresh and bold new look for their expanding product line, Reimer needed some new print collateral for a major trade show in Las Vegas. The presentation folder is a sales tool complete with a deep pocket to hold a number of specialized info sheets depending on the client’s interests. All the collateral was designed with tight integration to the website that I also helped design – you can see the website here.

This British Columbia Wood Fibre Opportunities brochure was produced to highlight investment opportunities in BC forestry in an international marketplace. The 16-page graphic document leans strongly on showcasing key 2010 Vancouver Olympic venues that used wood as it’s main architectural platform. English and Chinese versions of the brochure were produced.

Brochure for Qualex-Landmark’s Luxe development in Burnaby, BC. Took advantage of matte and gloss varnishes on the cover to create a rich look using a pattern applied across the project’s collateral, opening up into a vibrant presentation of the twin-tower project. Brochure highlights the neighbourhood and building features across this 16-page document. The brochure followed design cues from the website and other collateral.

The presentation folder was designed to hold a large amount of customized documentation in it’s deep gusseted pocket. The Townline corporate brochure, and a wiro-bound overview of Townline projects were also included for investor presentations. The cover featured a blind-emboss logo, opening to a large photo inside which was split across the fold.

Two different presentation folders were produced – the first one featured a backhoe working on a construction site, and the second one highlighted a warmer, brighter construction photo of Townline’s 540 Beatty project in progress.

The corporate brochure defined the company. It included an introductory letter from the company president, and a timeline of the company’s milestones in a graphic 3-page spread. The final page explains the company’s environmental commitment, a program they call ‘Down to Earth’. Designed with a back pocket for project-specific information packs, including die-cut areas for a CD-ROM/DVD and business cards. The corporate brochure was designed to fit into Townline’s presentation folder and was also used as a stand-alone piece.

The 2007 MacNeil Bikes catalogue is a double-sided oversized fold-out poster. I oversaw the production, and worked on many of the product elements on the backside.

Shown are the front and back of the poster, and some details views of the products. The products ‘colour chips’ are close-ups of the actual products.

The 2006 MacNeil Bikes catalogue is the catalogue that almost didn’t happen (see my notes below for more on that). I oversaw the art direction, design, production and writing of this catalogue, and turned it around at a record pace. Juggling content coming in from 3 different continents, and turning a 36-page catalogue over a weekend made for some hectic times, but you’d never really know it by looking at the catalogue. The catalogue showcases all the newest product offerings, an overview of the team, tech specs and distributor info.

Side notes about this catalogue: The entire was pulled together in about four days by three people working on three different continents – one person in Taiwan, one person (on vacation) in Hawaii, and I was working as the hub in Vancouver. I stayed up for those four days straight, juggling the timezone offsets of my two other contributors, putting my head down on the keyboard and resting my eyes for a few minutes when I could. The products were late coming out of the prototyping factory in Taiwan, so a photo studio was rented in Taipei, where the products were shot, then uploaded to our FTP server, where I’d pull them down and colour-correct products I’d never seen before and went by directions such as “make it redder” and “the teal isn’t teal enough”. Several hours of text and video-chats were logged throughout the production of the catalogue. As you might imagine, watching somebody sleep during a video-chat is not very interesting, especially when you’re screaming at them and sending repeated international texts to wake up because the catalogue really, really needs to go to the printer ASAP. After it was finished, the printer had less than 36 hours to turn it around, dropping off the final pieces at my house within 30 minutes of the crew that was driving them, and the trade show booth down to Las Vegas. I slept for two days straight after it was done, then jumped on a plane to meet the crew in Las Vegas, where, you guessed it, I stayed up for another four days straight.

You can flip through this catalogue on Issuu.
