		<description><![CDATA[Signage created for Dental office expansion.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was given the opportunity to help my favourite dentist give her newly expanded office a fresh look from the outside. It was important to tie in elements from her current logo/brand but impart the professionalism as well as personality of this amazing clinic. I created an expanded sign band that was visually engaging as well as clear and easy to read.</p>
<p><a href="http://crystalink.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/GPDsignband2.jpg"><img src="http://crystalink.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/GPDsignband2.jpg" alt="" title="GPDsignband2" width="600" height="176" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-225" /></a></p>
<p>Then the really fun part was creating a window decal graphic that had a double purpose. One to provide privacy to the clinic rooms inside but also to expand the feel of the newly renovated space.</p>
<p><a href="http://crystalink.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/GPDWindowDecal-graphic-01.jpg"><img src="http://crystalink.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/GPDWindowDecal-graphic-01.jpg" alt="" title="GPDWindowDecal-graphic-01" width="600" height="178" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-226" /></a></p>
<p>Dr. Pastershank is a lover of nature and lady bugs so I brought in the leaf image from her new carpet from the renovation as well provided her with a lady bug that combined the cuteness that she loves with the clean and professional image of her clinic.</p>
<p><a href="http://crystalink.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/GPDwindowDecal.jpg"><img src="http://crystalink.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/GPDwindowDecal.jpg" alt="" title="GPDwindowDecal" width="600" height="326" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-228" /></a></p>

<p><a href="http://crystalink.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DINOS-Poster3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-174" title="DINOS-Poster3" src="http://crystalink.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DINOS-Poster3.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /></a></p>
<p>For the 2011-12 season I worked with the photographer and marketing department to create a theme for the season. Hunger was the theme. From this main piece the rest of the season promotional marketing pieces are based for consistent branding.</p>
<p><a href="http://crystalink.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DINOS-Poster2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-173" title="DINOS-Poster2" src="http://crystalink.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DINOS-Poster2.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="465" /></a></p>
<p>Football season poster. I had the pleasure of working with the photographer, David Moll while taking images of the locker room using a flashlight brush technique. The idea of the poster was to showcase a half-time pose where athletes are in the process of getting ready for a game &#8211; looking &#8216;hungry&#8217; to win.</p>
<p><a href="http://crystalink.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DINOS-Poster1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-172" title="DINOS-Poster1" src="http://crystalink.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DINOS-Poster1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="410" /></a></p>

As well as designing and laying out the articles and information I also work with these specialized businesses to create unique advertising to reflect their products and services.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had the pleasure of working with the Clarke, McLeod and Yawney real estate team. Creating materials that reflected their personalized and professional service was a real treat. While working on the buyer&#8217;s guide I kept in mind my own experience to create a resource that I wish I had when we bought and sold our homes.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Working with the company and another freelance copywriter to summarize this national corporation into one piece of marketing / informational materials that can be tailored to a prospective client's needs.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Wingenback Inc.</strong></p>
<p>Working together with Wingenback Inc., a copywriter and myself we worked to compile an information folder that could hold information about the company&#8217;s 2 divisions and the multiple departments within each. We created a tri-fold 9 x 12 folder with large pockets to allow for space for copy. Within each pocket are a set of tabs that look complete regardless of the quantity used. This allows for the folder to be customized to their prospect/client with only the information that they need.</p>
<p><a href="http://crystalink.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/WB_trifold.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-87 alignnone" title="WB_trifold" src="http://crystalink.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/WB_trifold.jpg" alt="Full Trifold Spread" width="1000" height="324" /></a></p>
<p>A tri-fold brochure was created to mimic the folder design for the corporate information that can be included in the folder as well as be it&#8217;s own stand alone piece.</p>
<p><a href="http://crystalink.ca/NEWsite/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/WB_tabsdiecut.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-88 alignnone" title="WB_tabsdiecut" src="http://crystalink.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/WB_tabsdiecut.jpg" alt="Custom Die Cut Tabs" width="1000" height="479" /></a></p>
<p>A custom die cut was created for the tab inserts to mimic the corporate logo.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Promotional materials for the University of Calgary DINOS Athletics season. Event posters, programs, schedule cards and more.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Working with the University of Calgary DINOS Athletics department in 2010 to create professional and dynamic marketing for their 2010-11 season.</p>
<p><a href="http://crystalink.ca/NEWsite/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DINO-2010-11program4.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-147" title="DINO-2010-11program4" src="http://crystalink.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DINO-2010-11program4.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="414" /></a></p>
<p>Event poster and schedule card had the theme of &#8216;Top of the Food Chain&#8217;. I was provided images taken by David Moll Photography and then edited and created custom collages of the athletes in a dynamic and exciting way.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The season event program was created to reflect the professional calibre of athletes that the DINOS present.</p>
<p><a href="http://crystalink.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DINO-2010-11program3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-146" title="DINO-2010-11program3" src="http://crystalink.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DINO-2010-11program3.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="487" /></a></p>
<p>The design worked to include the professional branding already established by the University of Calgary while at the same time showcasing their individuality and unique experience they have to offer.</p>
<p><a href="http://crystalink.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DINO-2010-11program2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-145" title="DINO-2010-11program2" src="http://crystalink.ca/NEWsite/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DINO-2010-11program2.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="536" /></a></p>
