From Friday morning to Saturday morning, I participated in GDC's design-a-thon 2009. I worked with the team from Veer for 24 hours to design for a non-profit organization. We sat in a room for 24 hours (that's three work days!) and renamed, rebranded, and created a stationary package, website, ad campaign, and t-shirt for Child and Youth Friendly Calgary. It was a lot of fun, the people from Veer were awesome, and it was cool to see how much work we could accomplish in 24 hours.
I felt a little loopy and nauseous afterwards (it was probably the caffeine and sugar binge more than the lack of sleep), so hopefully with school being finished for good, I can swear off all-nighters for a while now.

I also did a fun photoshoot last week for my friend Kyle's new clothing line "Daleio". I shot it in a room the size of a closet with makeshift lighting, but it was a lot of fun and I had great models to work with. I used similar processing as the "Zara" ads from earlier in the year but with a clean, high-key look. I'm going to be designing the daleio.com website for Kyle this month, so I'll hopefully have a chance to do more fun fashion shoots.
