BE SEEN ÊTRE VU WINNERS’ CATALOGUE CATALOGUE DES GAGNANTS 2015 20 VERITIV CANADA DESIGN AND PRINT EXCELLENCE AWARDS PRIX D’EXCELLENCE EN GRAPHISME ET EN IMPRESSION Our judges repeatedly used the term “attention to craft” and commented on your bold new techniques for motivating, engaging and guiding audiences through a story or brand experience. As we observed last year, you continued to design with high-end print values in mind, unafraid to use the medium’s capabilities for producing tangible, thought-provoking pieces that engage both the visual and tactile senses. SUSAN R. CORBEIL DIRECTOR OF SPECIFICATION DIRECTRICE, PROMOTION VERITIV CANADA One of the great joys of this job is seeing the fresh and often brilliant ways designers approach and resolve communications challenges. Clearly, print design and the creative use of paper are not fading away in this digital age. If anything, you are bringing a resurgence to print. One need only review the winning entries in the 2015 uVU Veritiv Canada Design and Print Excellence Awards to understand you are embracing print as a medium, perhaps like never before. Congratulations from all of us at Veritiv Canada. You have shown us that the classic, age-old technique of using thoughtful design, photography, illustration and typography to reinforce key messages is thriving and in good hands. 6 VERITIV CANADA DESIGN AND PRINT EXCELLENCE AWARDS A prominent theme of this year’s entries was your use of great photography. While it’s true that the online world has provided a whole new stage for imagery, nothing matches fine print for harnessing the real power of a photo. This year’s winners featured evocative, compelling presentations of images that triggered emotions, reinforced key messages or simply grabbed one’s attention. Apparently, great design knows no boundaries in Canada. Like last year, impressive entries came from across the country, and also from non-profits as well as corporations. This is how it should be, and it gives us great hope for the future of both design and print. We have no doubt you will take inspiration from the designs and solutions inside this booklet. I look forward to seeing your new print collateral entered in our 2016 uVU Veritiv Canada Design and Print Excellence Awards competition. UVU 2015 L’un des plus grands plaisirs de mon travail est de découvrir les différentes façons originales et souvent géniales dont les concepteurs abordent et résolvent les défis de la communication. Il est clair que la conception graphique et l’utilisation créative du papier ne sont pas en voie de disparaître en cette ère numérique. En fait, c’est vous qui êtes à l’origine de la renaissance de l’imprimé. Il suffit de parcourir les différents documents soumis à l’occasion des Prix d’excellence en graphisme et en impression 2015 uVU de Veritiv Canada pour comprendre que vous considérez l’imprimé comme un moyen d’expression, peut-être comme jamais auparavant. Recevez les félicitations de tous les membres de l’équipe de Veritiv Canada. Vous nous avez encore une fois démontré que cette classique et vénérable technique qui fait appel à une conception réfléchie, aux photographies, aux illustrations et à la typographie pour renforcer les messages clés est florissante et entre bonnes mains. Nos juges ont utilisé à plusieurs reprises l’expression « attention à la forme » et reconnu vos nouvelles techniques audacieuses pour motiver, charmer et guider l’auditoire avec une histoire ou une expérience de la marque. Tout comme l’an dernier, vous avez conçu des documents en ayant à l’esprit des critères de qualité supérieure, sans craindre d’utiliser les capacités de ce moyen d’expression pour produire des UVU 2015 documents concrets et inspirants qui sollicitent à la fois le sens de la vue et celui du toucher. L’une des caractéristiques prédominantes des inscriptions de cette année a été l’utilisation de magnifiques photographies. Même s’il est vrai que l’Internet a bouleversé le monde de l’imagerie, rien ne vaut une impression de qualité pour bénéficier du véritable pouvoir des photographies. Les gagnants de cette année ont présenté des images évocatrices et fascinantes qui suscitent des émotions, renforcent les messages clés ou attirent tout simplement l’attention. Il semblerait que le design de qualité ne connaisse pas de frontières au Canada. Comme l’an dernier, des documents impressionnants nous ont été soumis des différents coins du pays, tant d’entreprises que d’organismes à but non lucratif. Et c’est exactement ce que nous espérons : l’avenir s’annonce prometteur pour la conception et l’impression. Il ne fait aucun doute que vous vous inspirerez des concepts et des solutions présentés dans ce document. J’ai déjà hâte de voir les nouveaux documents que vous soumettrez pour le concours des Prix d’excellence en graphisme et en impression 2016 uVU de Veritiv Canada. VERITIV CANADA PRIX D’EXCELLENCE EN GRAPHISME ET EN IMPRESSION 7 JUDGES | JUGES JUDGES | JUGES JUDGES | JUGES JUDGES JUGES RENÉ CLÉMENT ART DIRECTOR | DIRECTEUR ARTISTIQUE PAPRIKA MONTRÉAL René Clément is a man with a passion for design, art and architecture. René’s projects convey a strikingly natural, uncomplicated character. All of which fits in very nicely with the general outlook at Paprika, the Montréal communications firm he joined 14 years ago. Indeed, Paprika is well known mainly for its simple and unique design methodology. “Ideas matter more than beauty,” René says. Effective graphic expression goes way beyond mere aesthetics. His approach involves a radically simplified style that places paramount importance on the message as such, resulting in just the right degree of transparency. Over the years, René has received many awards and honours for his work, including recognition from prestigious competitions like AIGA, D&AD, Art Directors Club, Type Directors Club, Communication Arts and Coupe Magazine, to name just a few. In addition to this, a number of his creative endeavours are now part of the permanent collection of the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec. TONY PONZO CREATIVE DIRECTOR | DIRECTEUR DE CRÉATION THE BRAND FACTORY TORONTO It’s safe to say that Tony Ponzo is passionate, if not obsessed, with great design. And he sees it everywhere, from big brands to photography to PEZ dispensers. His passion is driven by a curiosity about the world and how to push design to truly elevate communication, experiences and interactions. Previously as Associated Creative Director of Design at john st. advertising, Tony delivered that passion and expertise to brands like Tangerine, Kobo, Future Shop and President’s Choice. With over 20 years in the biz, Tony’s career has taken him to some of Canada’s premier advertising and design firms. His work has been featured in Time International and Sports Illustrated magazines, and has been recognized by Communication Arts, the ADCC, HOW Magazine and Applied Arts, to name a few. When he’s not helping to solve big business problems with great design, he’s obsessing about his solar-powered camera. Yes, it’s a thing. And yes, it can totally take pictures in the dark. 10 VERITIV CANADA DESIGN AND PRINT EXCELLENCE AWARDS René Clément est passionné par le design, l’art et l’architecture. Ses projets se démarquent par leur côté naturel et simple, des qualités qui correspondent parfaitement aux valeurs générales de Paprika, la firme de communication montréalaise à laquelle il s’est joint il y a 14 ans. Paprika est en effet reconnue pour sa méthodologie de conception simple et unique. Selon René, « les idées sont plus importantes que la beauté ». L’expression graphique efficace dépasse largement la simple esthétique. Son approche préconise un style très épuré qui accorde une importance primordiale au message, ce qui se traduit par un degré de transparence optimal. Au fil des ans, René a remporté un grand nombre de prix et de distinctions pour son travail, notamment lors de concours prestigieux tels que AIGA, D&AD, Art Directors Club, Type Directors Club, Communication Arts et Coupe Magazine, pour n’en nommer que quelques-uns. En outre, plusieurs de ses projets de création font maintenant partie de la collection permanente du Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec. On ne risque guère de se tromper en affirmant que Tony est passionné, sinon obsédé, par l’excellence dans le design. Il la voit même partout, qu’il s’agisse des grandes marques, de la photographie ou des distributeurs de bonbons PEZ. Sa passion est alimentée par la curiosité qu’il éprouve pour le monde et par son désir d’utiliser la conception pour rehausser la communication, l’expérience et l’interaction. En qualité de directeur artistique adjoint de la conception chez john st. advertising, Tony a mis à contribution sa passion et son expertise pour des marques telles Tangerine, Kobo, Future Shop et Le Choix du Président. Tony, qui compte plus de 20 ans d’expérience dans le domaine, a travaillé dans certaines des plus importantes firmes canadiennes de publicité et de conception. Son travail a été présenté dans les revues Time International et Sports Illustrated, en plus d’être reconnu par Communication Arts, l’ADCC, HOW Magazine et Applied Arts, pour n’en nommer que quelques-uns. Lorsqu’il n’est pas en train de résoudre un gros problème de nature commerciale avec un design de grande qualité, il est obsédé par son appareil photo à énergie solaire. Oui, il existe. Et oui, il peut prendre des photos dans le noir. UVU 2015 JUDGES | JUGES DAVID WALKER FOUNDING PARTNER, CREATIVE DIRECTOR PARTENAIRE FONDATEUR, DIRECTEUR ARTISTIQUE ST.

Kelly’s editorial design—33 books and 18 magazines to date—have garnered her 41 national/international design awards, including AIGA, Graphex, Unisource National Design and Print Excellence (uVU), Applied Arts, Redgees and Ad Rodeo, to list a few. She has also been published in over a dozen publications throughout North America and Europe. Most of the recognized work has pushed the boundaries on traditional printing and manufacturing with unique design solutions that engage the reader and encourage interaction. There is no question: Kelly loves craft in design, typography and the object as a coveted artifact. She has been a judge for the Junos (design), is a sessional instructor at ACAD, an avid music junkie (some would say obsessed), a newbie scuba diver and a closet disk golf fanatic. NICOLAS BOISSY DGA, CREATIVE DIRECTOR | DIRECTEUR DE CRÉATION ORANGETANGO MONTRÉAL With a bachelor’s degree in graphic design from UQAM, Nicolas Boissy worked for a number of years in different Montréal design studios before completing his studies with a postgraduate diploma (DESS) in event design, where he gained in-depth knowledge of scene design and museology. For the past 10 years, Nicolas has worked at orangetango on branding, packaging and exhibition design accounts. His output has earned recognition at national and international design competitions. His work ethic, stamina and ability to view projects in full detail are highly valued and in much demand by everyone on the orangetango team. Nicolas is a creative director and member of the agency’s executive. UVU 2015 David Walker est partenaire fondateur et directeur artistique de St. Bernadine, une agence de création primée qui produit des résultats significatifs pour ses clients et ses partenaires avec ses services de valorisation de la marque, de conception, de publicité et de marketing numérique et sur les médias sociaux.

Quelques distinctions et reconnaissances : One Show, Communication Arts, Applied Arts, ADCC, Pentawards, Rebrand 100, Dieline Awards, Digital Marketing Awards et Obies. Kelly cumule plus de 20 ans d’expérience en tant que conceptrice et directrice artistique. Son studio de design est axé sur l’imprimé et cumule une solide expertise dans les domaines de la valorisation de la marque et de la conception éditoriale. D’ailleurs, les projets de conception éditoriale réalisés par Kelly – 33 livres et 18 magazines à ce jour – lui ont valu 41 prix nationaux et internationaux de design, notamment AIGA, Graphex, Prix national d’excellence en graphisme et en impression d’Unisource (uVU), Applied Arts, Redgees et Ad Rodeo. Son travail a également été diffusé dans plus d’une douzaine de publications en Amérique du Nord et en Europe. La plupart de ses projets récompensés ont repoussé les limites de l’impression et de la production traditionnelles avec des solutions uniques qui attirent l’attention du lecteur et favorisent l’interaction. Il ne fait aucun doute que Kelly apprécie le professionnalisme, qu’il s’agisse de la conception ou de la typographie, et qu’elle adore les objets vus comme des artéfacts recherchés. Kelly est chargée de cours à temps partiel à l’ACAD. Ses intérêts sont multiples : juge aux Juno (conception), accro à la musique (certains diraient obsédée), plongeuse autonome néophyte et mordue du « disque golf ». Titulaire d’un baccalauréat en design graphique de l’UQAM, Nicolas Boissy a travaillé pendant quelques années pour différents studios de design de Montréal avant de poursuivre un programme d’études supérieures (DESS) en design d’événements, études qui lui ont permis d’approfondir ses connaissances dans les domaines de la scénographie et de la muséologie. Depuis dix ans, Nicolas œuvre chez orangetango à la réalisation de projets touchant l’image de marque, la conception d’emballages et la conception d’expositions. Son travail a été reconnu dans le cadre de divers concours nationaux et internationaux de design. Son éthique de travail, sa vigueur intellectuelle et son aptitude à voir tous les détails d’un projet sont hautement appréciées et très prisées par les autres membres de l’équipe d’orangetango. Nicolas est directeur de création et membre de la direction de l’agence.

In addition to a new logo, stationery, promotional brochures and website, Circo de Bakuza recommended the creation of an inspirational coffee table book: The Black Book – Empowering Global Citizenship. This artistic book has been created in collaboration with the photographer Nicolas Ruel. The main objective was to translate the tagline “Empowering Global Citizenship” into an artistic yet promotional tool, by transmitting the brand codes of Arton Capital with a high-end visual identity. 16 VERITIV CANADA DESIGN AND PRINT EXCELLENCE AWARDS DESIGN FIRM Circo De Bakuza COPYWRITER Tony Babinski FINISHED SIZE 8" X 11.5" CREATIVE DIRECTORS Laurence Pasteels Julie Brassard CLIENT Arton Capital NUMBER OF COLOURS 7 Colours (2 Hits of Silver + Process + Gold 874) + Aqueous Gloss & Silk Coating ART DIRECTOR Catherine D’Amours DESIGNERS Catherine D’Amours Julia Modesti Patricia Tremblay PHOTOGRAPHER ILLUSTRATOR Nicolas Ruel Catherine D’Amours PRINTER Imprimerie l’Empreinte PAPER Burgo Chorus Art Gloss and Silk Text Endleaf: Neenah Classic Crest® Text OTHER TECHNIQUES Blind Deboss on Cover NUMBER OF PAGES 114 Pages + Endleaf + Hard Cover UVU 2015 JUDGES’ COMMENTS COMMENTAIRES DES JUGES KELLY HARTMAN The book introduces Arton Capital but with a heavy focus on the Global Citizenship Movement as seen through the lens of artist Nicolas Ruel. The take-away: to empower and insight action. As it guides you through this global journey, the messaging and imagery perfectly unfold, draw you in and inspire you to want to know more. The photographer’s fresh take on these iconic structures, landscapes and artifacts is both engaging and thought-provoking. The images themselves are originally printed on stainless steel and the book does an exceptional job of reproducing these and maintaining the metallic look. While the imagery is a gift in itself, the designer has managed to use these to craft the story and keep the focus on the overall message. The materials and print all lend to an exceptionally well-produced book. Simply stunning. Ce livre présente Arton Capital, mais en mettant grandement l’accent sur le mouvement Citoyens du monde vu à travers la lentille de l’artiste Nicolas Ruel. La conclusion : habiliter et agir. Tout en nous guidant dans ce voyage à travers le monde, les messages et les images s’imbriquent parfaitement, suscitant notre intérêt et nous amenant à vouloir en savoir UVU 2015 davantage. Le nouveau regard de ce photographe sur ces structures iconiques, ces paysages et ces artéfacts est à la fois engageant et inspirant. Les images elles-mêmes ont été à l’origine imprimées sur de l’acier inoxydable : ce livre les reproduit d’une manière exceptionnelle en préservant leur aspect métallique. Même si les images sont un cadeau en elles-mêmes, le concepteur s’en est servi pour créer une histoire et maintenir l’attention sur le message global. Les matériaux et l’impression se traduisent par un livre d’une facture exceptionnelle. Simplement stupéfiant. TONY PONZO This publication evokes everything I love about the craft of design—a beautiful design treatment that will last the test of time. It allured me when I first experienced its overall sensibilities, and if I am fortunate enough to experience that moment again, I’m sure I will say that it still feels fresh and current. I was also drawn in by its controlled and poignant sense of pacing. As the pages turned the flow from type to complex illustrations to photography, it took me on a journey of discovery—it kept me intrigued from start to finish. Cette publication évoque tout ce que j’aime du métier de concepteur – un traitement graphique magnifique qui passera l’épreuve du temps. Ce livre m’a séduit lorsque j’ai découvert toute sa finesse ; si j’ai encore la chance de vivre une nouvelle fois ce moment, je suis sûr que j’éprouverai le même sentiment de fraîcheur et d’actualité. J’ai également été épaté par le rythme contrôlé et émouvant. En tournant les pages et en passant de la typographie à des illustrations complexes puis aux photographies, j’ai fait un voyage de découverte. J’ai été intrigué du début à la fin. NICOLAS BOISSY This book deserved special mention for the excellent combination of creativity and technical prowess. Printing the photos on metallic ink yields a modern version of early photographic printing using film. This impression of the past, mixed with the contemporary nature of the subjects, produces a powerful and elegant result. Ce livre méritait une mention spéciale pour l’excellente combinaison de créativité et de prouesse technique. L’impression des photos sur encre métallique confère à l’ensemble une version moderne des premières impressions photographiques en argentique. Cette impression du passé, mélangée à la nature contemporaine des sujets, donne un résultat élégant et puissant. RENÉ CLÉMENT Luxurious. One word that describes this book perfectly for both its refined and extravagant nature. A dream project for a design studio and a printer. It presents very beautiful superimposed photos by artist Nicolas Baier, enhanced by metallic and varnish effects that repeat in leitmotiv throughout the book. Numerous graphical elements (typography, geographical map and others) stand out for their extreme finesse and elegance. A major corporate communication project that interprets financial language with clarity. Luxueux. Voilà un mot qui décrit parfaitement ce livre, au caractère à la fois raffiné et extravagant. Un projet de rêve pour un studio de design et pour un imprimeur. Il présente les très belles superpositions de photos de l’artiste Nicolas Baier, mises en valeur par des effets métalliques et de vernis, et se répétant dans l’ensemble de l’ouvrage comme un leitmotiv. Des nombreux éléments graphiques (typographie, carte géographique et autres) se dégagent aussi beaucoup de finesse, d’élégance. Un grand projet de communication corporative qui interprète clairement le langage financier. DAVID WALKER This piece was overwhelmingly well received by all of us for its exquisite design, degree of difficulty, and the detail in the production that delivered an overall fantastic result. This piece was obviously well cared for and well considered, which resulted in an exceptional final product. Ce document a été extraordinairement bien reçu par nous tous du fait de sa conception exquise, de son niveau de difficulté technique et des détails de la production, le tout se traduisant par un résultat fantastique.

Laser-cut stars, referencing constellations, embellish the book’s slipcase. Signature shades of blue, suggesting a twilight sky (neither dawn nor dusk), appear throughout the catalogue—most prominently in the texts and the star-filled endpapers. Foil stamping and a powerful 10-page roll-fold insert complete the range of materials and processes selected to enhance this publication.

Delicate, understated, engaging. Starting with the outer sleeve’s tiny holes illuminating the book’s cover, then subtly carrying through to the interior endpapers. The well-crafted typography along with the beautiful juxtaposing of images and graphics were captivating. The more I interacted with this book, the more engaged I became. As if I was being carefully and masterfully escorted on a journey of discovery. Well done. Ce livre est tout simplement magnifique. Délicat, discret, charmant. Depuis les minuscules perforations dans la jaquette qui illuminent la couverture du livre, pour passer subtilement aux pages de garde intérieures. La typographie soignée et la magnifique juxtaposition des images et des graphismes m’ont captivée. Plus j’interagissais avec ce livre, plus j’étais charmée. Comme si j’étais accompagnée de façon magistrale tout au long d’un voyage de découverte. Beau travail. UVU 2015 TONY PONZO Everything about this book oozed design craft at its best and it became especially clear in its details: a poignant and totally controlled use of typography, an appropriate use of colour palette, and a bold yet graphic approach to imagery treatment. I admired how these elements melded together to create a seamless design approach. I especially loved the slipcover and endpaper treatments: these were the final touches that elevated the book from good to great. Tout dans ce livre illustre à merveille la conception à son meilleur, tout particulièrement dans les détails : une utilisation émouvante et totalement contrôlée de la typographie, l’utilisation appropriée de la palette de couleurs et une approche graphique audacieuse du traitement des images. J’ai admiré la façon dont ces éléments fusionnent pour créer une approche graphique transparente. J’ai particulièrement aimé le traitement de l’étui et du papier de garde : la touche finale qui classe ce livre dans la catégorie des grands livres. Aza Ali, Umid Ali NICOLAS BOISSY A charming book with multiple facets, full of surprises, inventiveness and savoir-faire. A work of complete sobriety that marvelously reveals the world of David R.

Un travail tout en sobriété, qui révèle à merveille l’univers de l’œuvre de David R. Harper, en plus d’en faire un objet romantique et mystérieux qu’on a le goût de découvrir. RENÉ CLÉMENT Graphic design at its best! This is exactly the type of book that I love to have in my library. Lauren Wickware has crafted a remarkable exhibit catalog. Discreet, sober graphics full of nuance serve the artist David Harper and his works beautifully. It contains wonderful visual surprises: I am thinking, among other things, of the stunning gatefold at the center of the book. The typographical treatment, at once classical and contemporary, is remarkable. There are no unnecessary elements weighing down its content. Truly a perfect book. Le design graphique à son meilleur ! C’est exactement le genre de livre que j’aime avoir dans ma bibliothèque. Lauren Wickware a ciselé un catalogue d’exposition remarquable. Le graphisme sobre, discret, tout en nuances se met au service des œuvres et de l’artiste, David R. Harper. Il nous réserve de belles surprises visuelles : je pense, entre autres, à l’étonnant encart à volet (gatefold) au centre du livre. Le traitement typographique, à la fois classique et contemporain, est remarquable. Aucun élément inutile n’alourdit son contenu. Un livre vraiment parfait. DAVID WALKER The sleeve was enticing, and the inside delivered with a balanced, tasteful, and controlled expression that was befitting for a longer format piece, yet engaging enough for one to pick up immediately and explore repeatedly. The type and grid were both excellently chosen for the content, as well as for the reader’s experience. La jaquette était alléchante et le contenu livré d’une façon équilibrée, contrôlée et avec goût, qui aurait convenu à un document de plus grand format. Suffisamment attirant pour qu’on veuille le prendre immédiatement et y revenir sans cesse.

Ce que j’ai aimé le plus du livre NIKE Young Athletes était le fait qu’il respectait sa mission : « Susciter l’inspiration et l’innovation chez tous les athlètes du monde. » L’écriture émouvante, une typographie qui évoque l’audace, une simplicité contrôlée et un traitement photographique qui capte des moments de grandeur, d’émotion et de confiance à travers les yeux des jeunes athlètes. Ces messages percutants représentent parfaitement cette marque. NICOLAS BOISSY Just because one is small does not mean that one can’t be great! And this large-format book, which highlights the exploits of young athletes, does it wonderfully. Beautiful job with the colours, contrasts and the subtle nuances. Large inserts of YUPO paper printed in fluorescent are at once a tonic and add delicacy to this rigorously produced book. C’est pas parce qu’on est petit qu’on ne peut pas être grand ! Et ce livre grand format, qui souligne les exploits de jeunes athlètes, le fait à merveille. Beau travail sur les couleurs, les contrastes et la subtilité dans les nuances. Les grandes insertions de papier YUPO imprimées en fluorescent ajoutent du tonique autant que de la délicatesse à ce livre produit avec rigueur. RENÉ CLÉMENT It feels good to see a book that reaches out to kids without the usual graphical clichés. The style is modern, the typography dynamic, and it all relies on the words for strength and impact. The journalistic photography is simple, direct and reflects the reality of young athletes. The cover is at its most simple and the appropriate use of tone-on-tone hot foil stamping contributes to the book’s thoughtful nature. Technically, its production is impeccable. The detail that makes this book a winner is the judicious use of translucent paper that gives it an interactive aspect. A technically flawless book, remarkable. Ça fait du bien de voir un livre qui parle aux jeunes sans avoir recours aux clichés graphiques habituels. La facture est moderne, la typographie dynamique, l’ensemble joue sur l’impact et la force des mots. La photographie de type reportage est simple, directe et reflète la réalité des jeunes athlètes. La couverture est simplissime et l’utilisation appropriée de l’estampage à chaud, en ton sur ton, contribue au caractère réfléchi du livre. Techniquement, sa réalisation est impeccable. Le détail qui fait de cet ouvrage un gagnant est l’utilisation judicieuse du papier translucide lui donnant un aspect interactif. Un livre sans fautes techniques, remarquable. DAVID WALKER The richness in the images, the boldness in the spot colours, the mix of stocks—all were executed extremely well. While the subject matter was admittedly engaging, the printing improved the reading experience and helped really lift the content off the page. La richesse des images, l’audace des couleurs d’accompagnement, la combinaison des papiers, une exécution de très grande qualité. Même si le sujet était de toute évidence émouvant, l’impression a rehaussé l’expérience de lecture et le contenu des pages.

Appropriately informative and utilitarian, they scarcely ignite enthusiasm for a brand. This book, however, took a giant step forward. Its captivating images provided a glimpse into the rich history of the station. Paired with contemporary graphics, fresh vibrant colours and a raw open binding, it drew me in, got me excited about the brand, and even encouraged me to want to know more. While chock-full of useful information, it was insightful, truly engaging and inspiring. I’d like to live in this brand world! Rarement, sinon jamais, ai-je été stimulée par un livre de directives sur l’image de marque. Informatifs et utilitaires, ces documents suscitent rarement l’enthousiasme pour une marque. Toutefois, celui-ci a fait un pas de géant. Ses images captivantes nous donnent un aperçu de la riche histoire de cette gare. Utilisant un graphisme contemporain, des couleurs vives et rafraîchissantes et une reliure ouverte brute, ce document a attiré mon attention et suscité mon intérêt pour la marque et m’a même incitée à vouloir en savoir davantage.

But the best thing really is that it created a brand experience for PR%F Bar—you immediately knew what it was about and the experience you would get—and that was the best part!

The bar was high for the new version! Mission accomplished. Here is a report that goes straight to what matters, that takes the time and the space it needs to communicate its message properly. Both sober and refined, the tone is perfect. It does not spread itself too thin, it does not try to do too much, and there is sufficient confidence in the concept to let it stand without artifice. The singular typography of the titles echoes the iconography and the sober typographical treatment of the texts, giving the document a timeless look, a far cry from today’s trends. Each double page is perfectly crafted. The symmetrical design of the document culminates in the center with a gallery of black-and-white portraits that neatly caps the rest and enhances the principal theme: “We are all human”. The tone, the approach, the iconography, the typography, the paper, even the graphics speak the same language, in the same voice. They leave a strong impression. This is a document of great mastery and great humility, which makes it my great favorite. Kudos. Je suis encore bouche bée devant le rapport annuel précédent, affichant cette agrafe au centre du document. La barre était haute pour la nouvelle mouture ! Mission accomplie. Voilà un rapport qui va droit à l’essentiel, qui prend le temps et l’espace nécessaires pour bien communiquer son message. Il est à la fois sobre et raffiné, le ton est juste. On ne s’éparpille pas, on ne cherche pas à en faire trop, on a suffisamment confiance dans le concept pour le laisser vivre sans artifices. La typographie singulière des titres fait écho à l’iconographie et à la sobriété du traitement typographique des textes, donnant au document un aspect intemporel, loin des tendances du jour. Chaque double page est parfaitement maîtrisée. La conception symétrique du document culmine au centre avec une galerie de portraits en noir et blanc, qui tranche nettement sur le reste et met en valeur la thématique principale : « We are all human ». Le ton, l’approche, l’iconographie, la typographie, le papier, même les graphiques parlent le même langage, de la même voix. Ils laissent une impression très forte. C’est un document d’une grande maîtrise et d’une grande humilité, ce qui en a fait mon grand coup de cœur. Chapeau.

This year, we commissioned the very talented Jason Blower (jasonblower.com) to do some custom illustrations of festivalgoers dancing.
