Our Work.
Client: Boldfish Video Motion Graphics
This motion graphics piece helps illustrate the key benefits of a new Visa gift card, which offers the recipient the opportunity to buy themself a gift, while also giving to a charity of their choice. The client provided a voice-over and a loose script to work from, so ACD got down to work developing a storyboard, creating the elements, and ultimately delivered this evocative animation on a very tight timeframe.
Client: UBC Go Global Print Campaign
The "Go Global" print campaign consists of a series of postcards and posters advertising opportunities for sudents to study abroad through UBC's international exchange program. The materials were widely distributed throughout both Vancouver campuses, and feature creative photo manipulation, typesetting, and an enticing overall concept that references postcards received from distant lands. ACD completed the full design and pre-press.
Client: Boldfish Video Motion Graphics
A short, animated logo opener for a video production company, which incorporates a 3D model of a video camera that ties into the existing lens motif of the clients' corporate branding.
Client: SEVA Canada Motion Graphics
The SEVA video quickly conveys a wealth of statistical data related to the disproportionate rate of blindness in women and girls in developing countries. The client offered complete freedom as to the aesthetics of the video, so ACD assessed that an info-graphic approach would be the best and most engaging way to deliver the important message that a 15 minute operation costing only about $50 CDN dollars, could save the vision of an impoverished woman.
Client: KMWPP Website Redesign
ACD recently created wireframes for a redesign of KMWPP’s BC Agri-Food Knowledge site and Farm Succession Planning site. The client wanted something more modern and fresh, and they required that the design conform to the module structure of Drupal. White-space and brighter colours helped enliven what was previously a dense and text-heavy site. Stock photography was selected that would compliment the theme of the site, and these were fashioned into a custom banner and various thumbnail ads in the sidebars.
Client: Smooth Beginnings Commercial Website
smoothbeginnings.com is a top-to-bottom design and build of a website for a local Doula. The site serves not only as a calling card for the services of head Doula Melina Auerbach, but as a valuable resource tool for expectant parents. There was a wealth of information to present and ACD worked closely with the client to organize the content into a series of logical catagories. The site is completely custom designed and successfully welcomes new parents to a world they may find unfamiliar, by offering a clear path to having their questions answered.
Client: Purdy Pavilion Educational Campaign
ACD designed a poster and brochures outlining the 10 steps of the Eden Alternative; an elder-care initiative that focuses on enriching the lives of seniors in care facilities. The target audience were health care workers, who were to be educated on these principles in a series of seminars that involved the take-away brochure, as well as an Apple Keynote presentation that ACD developed for the instructor. The design sought to be colourful, eye-catching, and to present the information in a palatable and orderly manner.
Client: Andres Miranda Portfolio Website
Andres Miranda is an animator and illustrator based in Toronto, whom ACD collaborated with to bring his drawings and film work to the web. The artist drew his own button elements and envisioned the site taking the form of an animator's desktop, but he needed some technical assistance putting the whole package together. To that end, ACD built the site, developing a Flash intro, scrolling interactive menus, a movie player, and establishing a link to his very active daily blog. The result is a unique portfolio site, that eschews the conventional blockiness of the web with hand-drawn sensibilities. andresmiranda.ca
