busines card design
SOUND SALON SPA

This two colour/two sided business card design is not as tall as a standard card. By having its final cut size a little smaller the card has a more sleek modern feel.

album design
MICHAEL HANRAHAN

Not every artist has what it takes to put a photo of themselves this big and blatant on the cover of their album - Mike looks amazing in this shot (taken by Mark Bennett). I'm very happy with how it turned out.

album art
MARK BRAGG

Mark gave me full creative control and let me have some of the most fun yet working on CD art. I'm really hoping we get to put this out on vinyl someday as it'll look great. Hand written fonts were the order of the day on this project.

Wintersleep is my old band, so I was involved in the design of their first three albums. The first I did entirely on my own (trees cover), the second was a collaboration with Toronto designer James Mejia (and received a Juno Award nomination for its design) and the third was a collaboration with Paul Murphy who drew the cover illustration.

Its a WIN/WIN.
