Halifax 2011 Canada Games – Corporate report
Posted by Dean Gallant in 2011 Canada Games, book/layout, recent work on July 6th, 2011
Yesterday, the Halifax 2011 Canada Games released the Final Corporate Report for this past winter’s successful event.
This report was a privilege to work on with such a great resource of amazing photography from Games time. It’s a beautiful, colourful, 9.5 x 7.5 inch book peppered with full page photos which are paired with memorable quotes from the event.
I had completed most of this project during my employment with the Games, but had a few details to add this week, along with creating a French version of the layout. For the moment, this has been released online as a .pdf for screen viewing, but we’ll be producing some quality bound copies for the archives and funding partners.
Melissa MacKinnon and Andrea Young did an excellent job pulling together the content. Photos were taken by the volunteer team which was lead by the incredible photographers at Communications Nova Scotia. Copy editing for this project was handled by my old friend Tara Lee Witchen, who I was lucky to work with on quite a few projects for the Games.
See the cover and a few sample interior spreads, below.

You’ve seen them a million times, but what you might not know is why they always have that same repeating pattern of logos. There is a functional reason: It’s so that no matter what angle you take a photo from, there will always be a full logo visible in the background. Sneaky.
Here is what I designed for the Halifax 2011 Canada Games, for press conferences during Games time.

Halifax 2011 Canada Games – medals kiosk
Posted by Dean Gallant in 2011 Canada Games, recent work, various on January 9th, 2011
This is an interactive photo kiosk, installed now at the Halifax Airport, which showcases the Halifax 2011 Canada Games medal designs. The medal designs were the result of an open competition which was won by local students, Amber Whyley and Marlon Solis.
The kiosk design includes the freestanding backdrop which features descriptive reading information on the side, as well as the medals podium in front which invites viewers to stand behind the mock podium for a photo op.

Business card and letterhead design for Halifax Headshots. Like the logo, the intention is for the whole identity to be clean, professional, timeless and with a corporate appeal.

Here is a recent logo design for Halifax Headshots. This is a new company from Halifax photographer Kate MacLeod focusing on—you guessed it—portraits. We wanted the logo to be clean, professional, timeless and with a corporate appeal. The font used is Perpetua.
Business card & letterhead coming soon!
