Our Channel is where you can learn more about life at H&W – see what inspires us and encourages us to share our thoughts. It usually concerns the world of design, but not always. Channels work best when there’s a back and forth, so please feel free to jump in.
We went to @issuesmagshop . The team traveled over to Dundas West to hang out with @nickydearest in her AMAZING magazine shop. We got a pre-opening viewing and we were very exited to hear about the store and the contents. She is so passionate and knowledged... Needless to say many titles came back with us… So excited that Issues is in the world and part of the community.

Magazines are organic. They are always changing and adapting. Renaissance magazine is no different. As we all know, sometimes it is the little changes that carry the most significance. Together with the editorial team of Renaissance, we adjusted some headline treatments to allow for a bit more positional flexibility in layouts. We reworked the section naming and how the reader navigates with the folios at the top of the page. We’re also thrilled to have Jori Bolton illustrating the fitness column for all four issues this year. First up: five active lifestyle personality types. The “Less is more” feature was a great opportunity to visually communicate the idea of simplicity. We lucked out with some incredible adult colouring book work submitted by one of the members. We are continually thankful to get to collaborate with illustrators like Jeannie Phan who illustrated “How to say no to negative people.” Lastly, we love the Travel section. Always really bright, strong photos to work with, and images that show off beautiful locations (once we saw the wide-sweeping photo from Inverness, Cape Breton we knew we had to run it large). And, that’s a wrap on Spring (almost)! We’re looking forward to more growth and changes, and the organic nature of magazines that always keeps us on our toes.

We had the immense pleasure to work with the @sheridanillustration program, which retains some of the top illustrators in the business as professors and program coordinators, to help them create a “growing” brand. We approached the project as two pieces: a visual brand for the program to start building a look and feel for their internal and external marketing, and an aligned visualization for their annual graduate show. In the past, the grad show, like a lot of their contemporaries, would create a new theme for each year. This does not help to build brand recognition. With Sheridan, we created “Drawn Together,” a consistent title that can be built on using the year. For example, Drawn Together ’22. The system uses a strong condensed typeface as its base component and only ever in black to highlight the illustration. An icon of a vertical pencil is added to the brand to act as a supporting metaphor. Illustration by @lali3bre

We had the honour last week of revealing to the world the new visual brand for @caseware. At a large event in in Toronto we presented this launch video created in partnership with @bythebooth. An evocative video that talks directly to Caseware’s solutions for its distributors and clients.
The colour palette is build around the logo’s coral and onyx and gives a robust set of shades as options. Layering in black and white visuals and hand drawn elements the underlying philosophy of these brand assets is to allow infinite customization within the grids parameters. We were excited to work with Pastiche Grotesque from @order.design.nyc Pastiche feels warm and inclusive as the lead face for the brand.
We were involved in a deep brand process involving over 400+ international interviews. Internal discovery with their brand advisory and executive leadership teams helped to build momentum and with unanimous approval from the board the new brand was introduced to the world at CWX, Caseware’s annual conference.#caseware #auditor #accounting #financial #branddesign #branding101 #visualbrand #designcommunity #designers #design #graphicdesign #illustration #torontodesign #designlife #studiolife #typography #typographic #canadadesign #torontodesign #branding #designer #graphicdesigndaily #graphicdesigncommunity (edited) (edited)
