maude&colette video

2010-06-29T10:36:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I know it's been a while and my last post included this in it, but I feel it important to get the video I made for my jewellery line up and on this blog for everyone to see. So, without further adieu, my little video. Justin Broadbent filmed it while shooting the stills for the collection and Shawna did the hair while I styled and did make-up with Miss. Carla Poirier great assistance!

Sorry for the late post. It's been hectic over here with school finishing and jobs starting. I am happy to share my thesis project with you all and hope that one day it becomes a 'real' thing.

Thanks to everyone who has helped out!

Screen Printing - Fun with Justin Apperley

2010-03-07T22:02:00.000-08:00

This past Friday I had the amazing opportunity to spend the day screen printing with my good friend Justin Apperley. It was one of the best Friday's ever and can't wait until I can get back in the studio. Oh! Can't forget to thank Hayden for letting my keep my posters in his locker. Keep your eyes peeled for the final product, or you can visit it in person at 52 McCaul for the Creative Type II show March 18, 2010.

Type Specimen Book - Type assignment

2010-03-03T08:04:00.000-08:00

This was a project I did in 2008 for my Type class. We were given five different groups containing four fonts per group. Each student had to choose a set, then create a specimen book showcasing all the different fonts while maintaining a consistent look and feel throughout. I chose to work with Garamond, Helvetica, Serifa and Bodoni. I made a few small revisions since the original and below you will find the results. Enjoy!

Tobermory - Water Fun (Half Way Log Dump)

2010-01-21T14:26:00.000-08:00

Tobermory. What a place. A summer without the teal waters is like a winter without snow.... unfulfilled. These are just a few quick underwater snapshots of friends at Halfway Log Dump. And yes the water is actually that blue.

Thesis Process Books

2009-12-06T12:58:00.000-08:00

This is probably my most interesting project I have worked on at school to date. These little books are just a preview of the entire collection which have been created to document my weekly process for my design thesis at OCAD. Each book is a process in itself, developing and evolving as each week goes on. The thesis statement is found on every cover and it changes as my directions change and ideas further develop. In the end I hope to have over 15 books which will be housed in a box set. I'll post more images as things develop.

Rope Earrings - Lost wax casting (Sterling Silver)

2009-08-26T12:59:00.000-07:00

I made these earrings through the lost wax casting process out of sterling silver. I got really obsessed with rope and knots this summer so a lot of my designs reflected that. I guess it was a result of reading one too many how to books.....?

Love Knot's - wax casted

2009-07-08T14:08:00.000-07:00

I made these knot-ical (pardon the pun) necklaces last summer. They are 100% sterling silver and come in sets of two, 1 small silver and 1 large black knot. The idea is that you keep one then give one, representing the strong bond love knots create. Traditionally these knots were tied at sea by a sailor to represent a loved one that was left at shore. You can buy one for a friend, family member, boyfriend or lady friend! I have some knots for sale, so just let me know if you are interested.

2 Finger Ring - Sterling Silver with 3 diamond setting

2009-07-08T10:06:00.000-07:00

This ring was one of my most challenging tasks yet, the wax mold took hours and I loved every moment, it was truly a labor of love.

Carla Poirier Business Cards - (Collaboration with C.P.)

2009-05-29T05:54:00.001-07:00

Carla Poirier is a great friend and a great designer. Before her graduation exhibit last year at OCAD I offered to help her create business cards. Since I know Carla and her style so well designing these were very easy. It also helped having her by my side, making sure everything was perfect! I really love working with Carla and hope to do it more.

SECRET LEGWEAR - Sustainable Re Design

2009-05-27T20:25:00.000-07:00

This project was one from my packaging 2 class. The concept was to take a wasteful package and redesign it to be more environmental. I decided to redesign Secret tights because the packaging was VERY dated and excessive. Tights are such a hot commodity these days I felt there was a huge disconnect with the current package. I made this custom die line while highly considering the environmental impact it would have. The cutout is not actually removed but tucked behind to act as a belt for the tights to sit securely. I also developed a colour scheme to help the customers find what they are looking for efficiently. I decided to use Helvetica because it reflects the tights; functional, classic, universal, accessible and practical. I am redesigning this for my portfolio so keep an eye out for the updated version.
