Monthly divisional newsletter

The HSPID monthly newsletter, The Source, is one of the division’s main communication tools, both for the executive and the employees. Each issue contains topics such as corporate initiatives, ministry- or policy-related articles, skill training, and more. On the lighter side, employees enjoy calendars of events, recipes, seasonal articles, and more. The design has evolved over time to a clean, modern format.

Granville Island (CMHC),
Vancouver

Monthly newsletter

Granville Island is a very special corner of Vancouver, full of character and characters. A monthly newsletter informs both visitors and locals of festival, performances, and all kinds of events happening on Granville Island in the current month. The design of each issue depends on current events or Public Market’s seasonal offerings.

Logo/identity design

Logos are meant to make a statement; a statement about the person or company they represent. Whether an architect, engineer, contractor, or a musician, their business has to have a brand look that sells.
