The Halifax 2011 Canada Games are in full swing and I’ve caught my breath enough to post a few designs that are in market right now. We’ve got a campaign that includes transit shelter posters, busboards, and billboards of various sizes throughout the HRM. The concept mirrors the television spots which are on air now, focusing on the “it” factor—the motivating force—behind the athletes’ drive and success.

This is a recent campaign getting lots of visibility around Halifax, revealing the Volunteer Uniform for the Halifax 2011 Canada Games.

My coworkers at the Games developed and directed the concept, photography was by local photographer Jeff Cooke, and I took care of the layout and produced artwork for billboards, transit shelter posters and various print ads, including a colour double page spread in the Saturday Chronicle Herald!

The ads feature nine current volunteers, with the idea that they are average people who—through volunteering—are transformed into modern-day urban superheroes, with the uniform as their outfit. We produced one group shot and eight individual variations.
