Canadian artist, Brian Jungen, forces us to stop and take a closer look at vernacular objects. He’s best known for using everyday materials like running shoes, golf bags and plastic chairs to create objects that reference totem poles, dance masks and whale skeletons. In his piece Water Hemlock (2008), Jungen drills a bead-like pattern into a plastic orange gasoline can as a sardonic version of a beaded object from first nations’ artistic practice.

Renaissance Magazine Summer 2020
Do you remember a time before quarantine? It seems long ago. When we help the team at RTOERO to visualize the content lineup for Renaissance, like any magazine, it is always six months ahead. The outdoors theme of the Summer issue doesn't quite align with how we are living, but the stories are still inspiring. With pieces on a dragon boat team made up of breast cancer survivors, an online foraging community, a 97-year-old poet and summer cottage planning, we were able to use bold typography and bright, natural photography to put readers in the races, introduce them to the faces, and highlight the places that we are all missing at the moment!

Esprit Booklet
What is the most effective way to promote an organization and highlight important, detailed information to potential members? Give it colour and make it entertaining, of course! Esprit is a tool to help explain the benefits of becoming a member of RTOERO. With over 80,000 members across Canada, RTOERO is the largest provider of non-profit group health insurance nationally. With that level of information to convey, we worked closely with their team to develop an oversized booklet using infographics, illustrated elements and big type that helps to guide the reader through simple, clear directions on becoming part of RTOERO.
