New Posters for 2021

Working on these posters has been loads of fun over the past year. Gotta keep the creativity flowing even in lockdown! Response has been favourable too.

It’s been interesting exploring new content for the posters while also considering design direction. The lighthouse series is now expanded to five with the addition of the range light in Lion’s Head, Ontario. Over the years this poor light has endured a lot of stormy Georgian Bay weather; it was destroyed in 2020 but rebuilt by local volunteers. The poster’s background hints at the famous nearby escarpment.

Kincardine, Ontario’s famous landmark lighthouse was the first poster I designed in 2019. I’ve got a new poster that focuses on more design details of the tower’s lantern.

Nearby on Station Beach in Kincardine beside the local marina, sunbathers - especially kids - enjoy climbing and sitting on blue over-sized chairs. They’re perfect spots for selfies. Very Intstagrammable.

Down the beach along the garden boardwalk, following the path of the former railway tracks, sits a gazebo. It’s weathered over the years, but still stands strong among the beachgrass and sand.

I think the blue chairs and gazebo posters form a nice pair, they’re colourful and evoke memories of beautiful summers on the beach.

The five-part lighthouse series has been an interesting exploration too; each poster employs design elements that are expressive and reflect the environment of each light.

Watch for more posters in the coming months.
