Jesse Gibb RGD and the team at Carve created print and digital marketing assets for the Grand Theatre in London, Ontario.
Carve has had the great pleasure of working with the Grand Theatre in London, Ontario for the 2015-17 seasons, handling what seems to be an endless flow of print and digital marketing assets – all of which is incredibly important to the success of the Theatre’s season. This particular project provided an opportunity to flex a bit more creative muscle than usual, and proved to be the sort of challenge that brought the best out of the Carve team. With little to go on beyond the names of the 2016/17 productions and some press quotes, Carve was tasked with producing a video that would give an overview of the coming season in a compelling way, while not necessarily defining the look and feel of the season creative that was still being developed.
Geordie Allen RGD and the team at Crescent helped Words and Music Magazine transition from print to a fully online publication.
A leader in Canadian music journalism, Words and Music Magazine (W+M) is published by the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN). With the growing trend to digital consumption W+M approached Crescent to transition its traditional print publication to a fully online magazine. Principal Geordie Allen RGD and the Crescent team assessed the magazine brand, distribution, content and production workflow and developed a digital design that embodied and showcased the magazines strengths in the new medium. Geordie's extensive branding experience ensured the power of the existing W+M brand was enhanced and that the user could participate with the online brand and create their own customized content journey. Putting emphasis on the visual aspects of the content, the new online magazine features stunning photography and full-screen images of W+M featured music artists, showcasing and leveraging the high-quality photographic assets of artists such as Drake, Serena Ryder, and The Weeknd, among others.
