Canada Games Centre

Dean Gallant — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:45:08 +0000

The Canada Games Centre is Halifax’s newest fitness, aquatic, & recreation facility, established to integrate both the need for high performance sport & athlete development, while promoting recreation and wellness within the community. It’s run by a not-for-profit society who operate the centre on behalf of the Halifax Regional Municipality. It’s an impressive facility—with striking architecture. Some of the highlights include a 140 foot indoor/outdoor waterslide and an indoor running track.

Over the last few months, we’ve been hard at work designing brochures, rack cards, pop up banners, print advertisements, newsletters, posters and marketing/communications templates for the good people at this wonderful new facility. The vibrant colours extracted from the logo, combined with photographs by Geordie Mott at Wooden Shoe Photography really help these products stand out.

Performance Genomics – HerdLife ProfitBooster

We produced a new three panel brochure and print ad this month for local research company Performance Genomics. The company is using genetic research to improve herd life and reproductive performance of livestock.

The recent designs continue the established clean, professional, easy to read, yet scientific aestetic.

This is a fun little print ad promoting the Halifax 2011 Canada Games gameswear. These ads ran in the Chronicle Herald and Le Courier several weeks ago, and variations on this design are in print again this weekend. Watch for them!

Volunteer Superheroes

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.
