EVERYBODY IS WORKING FOR THE WEEKEND

The craziness has begun! Weekend/late night overtime is happening. I've had the Loverboy tunes a-pumpin' in the office, so you know it's getting real. 

I wanted to share some progress with you lovely interweb people, to eradicate any notions that you think I'm sitting around on my behind munching on nachos (I might also be doing this...). 

The very first project I dabbled in at Informa is now fully underway and due in a week (cue mini scream). The 150-200 page Show Guide is coming together. If you riffle through old pages on this blog, you'll be able to see some of the early stages, if that's of any interest. I put together 30 or so pages today. Luckily I had prepared some of my stylesheets ahead of time! Still lots to be done but for now — here is a sample of some of the sections.

Be well, friends!

CATCH UP!

It seems I've been so busy at work that I've forgotten to post.
I also haven't been doing too many relevant projects to share on here.

However! I thought I may share some bits of what I do all day at work.
My client/company puts on all kinds of trade shows and conferences across Canada.
I work for the Construction and Real Estate team, which may help put these projects into context.

I am their first (and only) in-house designer. It's a bit intimidating to lead all their creative needs by myself, but it has certainly helped build confidence in my work. It has certainly been a welcome challenge to take things that have been done the same way for 25 years and try to give it a facelift, without getting too 'designy.'

I will try to get some samples of their past collaterals to share. For now here are a few examples of what I've created for them.
