University Club of Montreal - Website redesign

The UCM is a private member's club in downtown Montreal, which has been operating for over 100 years. The Club's online presence is vital to their operations as members may access information such as the Club events calendar, and register for such events, online. Their old website was informationally out of date and confusing to navigate. I updated it to reflect the more modern, classic aesthetic of the Club while streamlining the information presented to browsers and members. During this I taught myself how to use WordPress, where the website is hosted, as well as some HTML and CSS coding.

I desgined a range of boards that could be easily painted and reproduced using limited colours and methods, to keep production costs down. I was constrained by the production methods - namely, the stencils for the boards would have to be done with paint or stick-on stencils done using Cricut. It was a fun challenge to generate interesting graphics that were easy to make in the real-world. I suggested multiple colour palettes with the idea that only one would be chosen. I kept the palettes somewhat restricted to keep costs down, but I enhanced their versatility by incorporating shades that could be easily mixed using white paint.WWI did a contract for a local Montreal stand-up paddle board company to help increase the sale and marketability of their boards.

Me and my teammate were tasked with designing an exhibition based on a selection of open-source images and accompanying bilingual text, from marketing material for the exhibition to the design of the actual exhibition space at the Centre for Canadian Architecture.
I designed the poster for this exhibition. We emphasised the 'urban divide' theme of the exhibition through our selection of images, and their presentation in the exhibition space. Our main motif - the winding road-like lines in the space and in our marketing material - was inspired by our emblematic image, which is on display in this poster. It showcases a city whose industrial/urban areas are divided by a road from a more green/residential area. I designed the poster to highlight the dynamic movement of the road as it cuts through the city. On the poster, I split the title "Évidence" in two, but I visually maintained continuity by extending the bowl of the 'D' - where the title is split - toward the next letter. This split imagery was continued throughout our exhibition.

Concordia University - Strega Nona Diptych
I created this diptych as a set of propaganda-style images inspired by the children's book Strega Nona. In the book, a witch named Strega Nona has a magical pasta pot that never runs out of pasta. She has an assistant named Big Anthony, who is told to never touch the pasta pot. When Strega Nona…I created this diptych as a set of propaganda-style images inspired by the children's book Strega Nona. In the book, a witch named Strega Nona has a magical pasta pot that never runs out of pasta. She has an assistant named Big Anthony, who is told to never touch the pasta pot. When Strega Nona leaves to travel elsewhere, Big Anthony tries to copy a spell the witch had done to get the magic pot to produce the pasta. He succeeds, but doesn't know how to stop the pasta from being made and soon the town is overrun. Strega Nona returns and rectifies the situation but Big Anthony is vilified.
I took a humorous approach to my interpretation of the book. I cast Big Anthony as a communist-style hero who simply tried to provide hsi village with an infinite food source - the magic pasta pot - whose means of production was being otherwise hoarded by the 'evil' witch Strega Nona.
I referenced Italian Futurism, which was associated with Mussolini's fascist party and featured in fascist propaganda in the early 20th century. While free food for all would not have necessarily been a motivation for the Italian Futurists and the fascists they represented, I think the connection to political propaganda helped strengthen my message. I also referenced Boticcelli's 'Birth of Venus' - specifically, I rendered the pasta noodles in homage to the winding hair of Venus in the famous painting.

The concept presented, was created for and 'pitched' to the city of Montreal as a city works project. It was a final project for a design theory course, wherein groups of students would use publicly available city data to generate a solution to a problem facing Montreal.
My team and I studied calls to 311 for food assistance. My role was processing, interpreting, and presenting the data such that it could be easily understood. I first sorted through the 1000+ calls provided by the city. To do this I used Python to sort the calls based on different demographics. Following this, I extracted the arrondissements with the highest volume of calls per capita, as well as the number of food banks servicing those areas. I then presented this information as a density map, indicating the areas which our project needed to target.
