The first set of logo compositions for False Creek Healthcare Centre. The themes for these logos focused on Hope, Partners, Urgent Care and Canada. As usual labelled numerically with comic sans ms. All fonts deserve love.

To redesign or to not redesign, that is the question
Not all redesigns require a brand overhaul. The need to rebrand every time is a mistake that new designers often make. We’ve all been there, the need to make the design truly yours can be tempting. Over zealous rebranding however is a good way to alienate a client. Green Collar already has a great brand and a great looking site. What they want is to clean up their site to give it a sleeker and more sophisticated appearance.
New Site
Old Site
The old Green Collar site is not bad, however there are issues with Hierarchy. The first question I ask is which elements are the most important.
I increased the dominance of the logo by adding white space around it. I also reduced the real estate of the login bar and donate menu to further increase the dominance of the logo.
Lightened the colours in the menu so that it doesn’t overtake the logo. This also removes the very heavy line dividing the header into two.
Increased the white space around the header and reduced the white space as the page goes down. This increases the dominance of the header while encouraging the eye to travel down the page.
Removed “Read this post” buttons as the headliner links to the same content.
Reduced the size of externally linked partner banners.
I also worked on consistency. I toned down the colour palette by making sure the same shades of blues and greens were used. I hacked away at their CSS so that the font types and sizes were consistent.
All the changes I made were small, but it lends to a more cohesive website.
The first 2 drawings I’ve done in the new year. Here Comes the Bride was designed for my company Something Green. As for the Pikachu inspired bunnies, I have no explanation.

December rolls along and I realize I have not saved up nearly enough money to buy my friends and families Christmas gifts. (Curse you unemployment!) Thought I’m sure my friends miss my usual economy class gifts of soaps, chocolates or movie tickets, I really hope they enjoyed my “hand-made” gifts better.
A flash game I made for Corinne. Play Game. (Warning, corny music)
A personalized My Little Pony I drew for Harv. An acrylic painting for Jerah.

It’s that time of year again. I’ve made cards with ice queens, penguins, snowmen and carolers. For this year, Devin suggested robots.
