Figure
ORANGE SPORTS FIGURE by American Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) was painted in 1982. Art critics believe that Basquiat was paying homage to one of his heroes, the great baseball player Hank Aaron. Basquiat once said, “I like kids’ work more than work by real artists any day.” This painting, which is signed with invisible ink, was sold by Sothebys for US $6.5 million.
Aecon Group Inc.
Website
As a leading builder of Canadian infrastructure, Aecon Group Inc. garners a lot of attention. H&W was approached by their Corporate Affairs team to collaborate on a new website to serve all of Aecon's audiences. During an extensive discovery phase, we heard from various stakeholder groups that the new site would need to reinforce Aecon's leadership and innovation to investors, while putting its people-focused philosophy front and centre to aid in recruitment. Through our rigorous design process, H&W developed a platform which is clear and immediate. Using Aecon's brand standards, the website features the company’s beautiful photography, universal iconography and bold typographic structures to deliver a fresh, intuitive audience experience.

M Magazine
The Fall issue of M magazine highlights the University of Toronto Mississauga’s focus on the road to reconciliation for its indigenous history and students. The main feature looks at the community of professors, faculty and students who are bringing attention to the rich history and traditions of the Mississaugas of the New Credit to inform and inspire a new generation. H&W brought this momentous theme to life with pieces from the exhibit “The One Who Keeps on Giving” by UTM’s Canadian Research Chair in Transdisciplinary Indigenous Arts, Maria Hupfield.
