Equivocation Poster

Rationale:
When Shakespeare is commissioned to write a tainted account of the Gunpowder Plot (remember, remember, the fifth of November) by a corrupt official, he must decide between a lie and his life. Guy Fawkes, iconic central figure behind the Gunpowder Plot, and Shakespeare bear a striking resemblance, and it's this shared likeness that looms ominously from the dark. But does the repeating phrase that defines the visage read, "the truth is a lie," or "a lie is the truth"?

RCMP HC - Friberg Exhibit Poster
Credits:
Art Director: Kaitlyn Rude
Client:
RCMP Heritage Centre
Client’s Business:
Museum / Heritage Centre
Rationale:
This poster was created to raise awareness and attract visitors to view the “Beyond Friberg” exhibition in the RCMP Heritage Centre’s Feature Gallery. The exhibit explored works from a number of artists apart from Arnold Friberg, who is famous for his iconic portrayal of the Mounted Police. The imagery for this poster was specifically chosen to simulate the premise behind the exhibit. The close up on the Mountie encourages an interest in seeing something beyond the Red Serge. Viewers are inspired with a craving to dig deeper and celebrate the “Mountie” by means of Canadian art.

Client:

Client’s Business:

Printer:

Rationale:
The Challenge: Create a poster for the pickiest of all audiences.
The Brief: Make a kick ass poster for an event that is for the best design and advertising in the province... no biggy.
The DELIVERY: The “Heavy Lifting” event theme we developed has several meanings – most importantly it’s about the need for extra effort at some point in the process of creating design and advertising. We wanted the event to be fun, so we developed a quirky “mascot” (AKA - Mucho Macho) and made every element of the design hand drawn to focus on craft and simplicity.
The poster was printed as a limited run 6 colour silkscreen, on recycled kraft paper. The aesthetic was purposefully gritty to provide an obvious hand crafted look and be representative of a “final sketch” where all of the “heavy lifting” (eg. the conceptual work) was complete and which would eventually go to digital.
