Department of Canadian Heritage Corporate Look Toolkit & Photo Bank The goal of this project was to harmonize the look of
all corporate publications produced by the Department
of Canadian Heritage.
I oversaw production of electronic templates, style
guides and printing standards for the corporate look.
I also edited and revised a guide to publishing
documents at Canadian Heritage.
During this project I organized a database of
copyright-compliant digital photography for use in
government web sites and publications.
I helped select and edit this collection of photos that
illustrate the department’s mandate, values and goals.
Once completed, I created an intranet-based photo
catalogue accessible to Canadian Heritage clients
across Canada.

The Reverb SyndicateBrand Identity
The Reverb Syndicate is a “Spy-Fi” surf band from
Canada who have been playing together since 2006.
Their music is described as “soundtracks to 1960s
spy films that don’t exist”. They toured England and
Scotland in 2008 and have released two studio albums;
Operation: Jet Set! (2006) and Sputnik A-Go-Go (2007).
With their back story in mind, I created a fictional
on-line universe and alter egos for this unique band.
Products include an interactive spy-themed web site;
a signature logo; illustrated personas; and animated
flash cartoons of the band’s surfadelic misadventures.

The Reverb SyndicateOperation: Jet Set!
The Reverb Syndicate’s debut album “Operation: Jet Set”
was released in 2006. The retro surf style of the album
lent itself perfectly to a 60’s inspired visual package.
Pastel colours and whimsical illustrations recall the
band’s affinity for all things kitsch and pop.

The Reverb SyndicateSputnik A-Go-Go
Space! The final frontier for the Reverb Syndicate’s
sophomore album, “Sputnik A-Go-Go.” Released in
2007, we find our heroes in the middle of a new space
aged cold war...That is, until things heat up when two
Reverb agents encounter the “Soviet Sisters.”
The cosmic artwork and additional character design
for the Sputnik-surfing Soviet Sisters was inspired by
the band’s new spaced-out sonic direction.
