Another batch for the portfolio. This one's a collaborative work, created between Julie M-Dumont, Tina Ng, Dora Rodriguez, and myself.

TITLE: Urban Nature Walk
CREATED: October 9, 2007
COMPLETED: October 31, 2007
MATERIALS: Paper and Cardstock
FORMAT: Press Kit
DIMENSIONS: 5 x 6 inches

DESCRIPTION: In response to deforestation and wildlife endangerment due to the expansion of urban areas, “Urban Nature Walk” is a proposal to create an exploration of urban Montreal through the investigation of several of its endangered bird species. Included within the “Urban Nature Walk” press kit are an editorial booklet, a three-dimensional diorama, and map for potential sponsors. Also realized within this work is a brand identity for the project.

I was planning on posting the first wave of photographic documentation to go with this, as I've just finished binding the book to go with the work, but I've been struck by a fit of laziness, so that's not going to happen right at this moment.

Urban Nature Walk is a collaborative piece involving packaging design, editorial design, graphic design and an overarching brand "identity" - designed between Tina Ng, Julie Dumont, Dora Rodriguez and myself, for DART 443 at Concordia University.

The brand is featured below the cut. Typographical credits are extended to Emigre for Solex Bold and Vendetta. (Fonts are sexy.)

Photos of the entire completed project forthcoming, and I will list this under Editorial in the future, since my major contribution to the collaboration involves the creation, layout and binding of the (you guessed it) editorial component.
