Whether you’re from Canada or not, you can no doubt appreciate the message behind this “Eat Real, Eat Local” spot. Imaginative uses of food and infographics set on a dinner table make for a fun learning experience.

We need more of these type of spots — in content and design — on a global scale.

Left brain, right brain, form into Infographic!

I’ve been so busy preparing signage, flyers, stickers and what have you for an upcoming conference for work. In the midst of all the chaos, I’ve managed to work on a poster presentation for a colleague who is presenting at a national conference. Although it only took me a few hours, I am surprised at how much I like it.

It’s interesting that after working so intensely in the visual centers of the brain, I found it incredibly difficult when asked to actually look at the text to make edits. My corpus callosum was straining under the task.

In any case, here is the end result. This small version is the only one I’ll be posting to display the overall design because the numbers are still under review by committee.
