Series of artwork we created for the Jazz week 22. The festival was a busy program with events from 12pm to 3am everyday. We wanted to give each type of event its own visual to help navigate the schedule. ⁠ ⁠ Part of the objective of @sainthenrijazz is be welcoming space for non jazz aficionados to discover jazz so we wanted to whole direction of the festival to step away from traditional jazz artwork and have a more modern look, an extension of the branding of the organisation itself. ⁠ ⁠ #semainejazz22 #jazzweek22

One of the many little little celebrations from the last few weeks at #semainejazz22 #jazzweek22 was walking through Saint-Henri everyday and seeing our hoarding out in the world. ⁠ ⁠ Thank you to @publicitesauvage for the support and turf battle to keep the artwork visible as well as you did.⁠ ⁠ The wonderful team of @sainthenrijazz :⁠ @valerielacombemusic , @samkirmayer , @perreaultariane , @lacarolovesbach , @markbobdawson ⁠ ⁠ ⁠

The festival wrapped up last night, what an amazing experience. The overwhelming positive feedback and support from not only the Jazz community but Saint-Henri, the media and the wider Montreal community was fantastic.⁠ ⁠ Thanks to @sainthenrijazz for having us along for the ride.⁠ ⁠ A little overview at what #semainjazz22 #jazzweek22 looked like! 6 days of events, free out door shows, wine & vinyl discussion groups, masterclasses, concerts, late shows, jam sessions and a wonderfully moving round table.⁠ ⁠ Making so many new friends and seeing the work come to life amongst by the musicians, volunteers and audience was just such a blast.⁠ ⁠ ⁠

Some more of the branding roll out featuring two of the founders of @sainthenrijazz and dear friends @samkirmayer @valerielacombemusic ⁠ ⁠ #sjsh #wherejazzcomesalive #cartierlove #designMTL #sainthenri #branding #brandidentity #creativeagency #designstudio #designstudiomtl⁠ #musicindustry #musicbranding #socialgraphics #onbrand #lookandfeel #brandawareness #identitydesign #typographydesign #branddevelopment #visualidentity #thebrandingcollective

Before the Saint-Henri Jazz society had a backdrop for the stage, we had curtains. It's always fun to see your work on a large scale.⁠ ⁠ The backdrop was commissioned as part of the launch for the first #semainejazz22 #jazzweek22 that is currently taking place in Saint-Henri Montreal.⁠ ⁠ @sainthenrijazz ⁠ @lesquartiersducanal ⁠ ⁠ #sjsh #wherejazzcomesalive #cartierlove #designMTL #sainthenri #branding #brandidentity #creativeagency #designstudio #brandinginspiration #designstudiomtl⁠ #musicindustry #musicbranding #musicconcert #backdropdesign #sainthenrijazz

⁠ As part of the creative direction for La Société jazz de Saint-Henri we helped out on the website to launch the programming for #semainejazz22 #jazzweek22⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠SJSH was created to nurture the future of jazz in Saint-Henri by respecting its roots and traditions. If jazz is at the heart of Montreal's historical and cultural roots, Saint-Henri and La Petite-Bourgogne were at the epicentre. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠@sainthenrijazz ⁠ ⁠ ⁠#sjsh #wherejazzcomesalive #cartierlove #designMTL #sainthenri #branding #brandidentity #creativeagency #designstudio #brandinginspiration #designstudiomtl⁠ #musicindustry #musicbranding #musicfestival #websitedesign #festivalbranding #brandinspiration #typographyinspired #communicationdesign

For the last little while we have been the creative partner for a new community run not for profit with a whole lot of spunk called La Société jazz de Saint-Henri, 'SJSH'.⁠ ⁠ We were originally asked to develop the look and feel of the organisation, an ongoing project that is constantly growing in parallel with the organisation itself. ⁠ ⁠ SJSH was created to nurture the future of jazz in Saint-Henri by respecting its roots and traditions. If jazz is at the heart of Montreal's historical and cultural roots, Saint-Henri and La Petite-Bourgogne were at the epicentre. ⁠ ⁠ The work we created quite literally place's Saint-Henri at the heart of the story by using the map of neighbourhood as the primary brand element⁠ ⁠ To position Saint-Henri at the heart of the organisation's story, we used the map of the neighbourhood as the primary brand element along with a layered system of interchangeable graphic and typographic assets to mimic the improvisational nature of jazz and represent the diversity the community. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ @sainthenrijazz ⁠ @lesquartiersducanal ⁠ ⁠ #sjsh #wherejazzcomesalive #cartierlove #designMTL #sainthenri #branding #brandidentity #creativeagency #designstudio #brandinginspiration #designstudiomtl⁠ #musicindustry #musicbranding

KU Children Services is a not for profit organisation and one of Australia's leading childcare providers. We've had the good fortune of working with them for over 10 years on a variety of brand mandates from illustrated window graphics to nation wide campaigns. ⁠ ⁠ We love working with clients over long periods like this as it allows us to deeply understand an organisations objectives and help shape their message over time.⁠ ⁠ One of our favourite reoccurring projects with KU is their Annual Report which has grown and taken many forms of the years. As we gear up for the 21/22 edition, we wanted to take look back at some of designs we've produced.⁠ ⁠ One of our first design concepts was to bring a bit of life to the Annual Report by building some of the data out of children's playthings and photographing them.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #kuchildrensservices #annualreportdesign #annualreport⁠
