Print Design Projects in AlbertaPrint Design Projects in AlbertaPrint is not dead. It's just raising the bar.
Canvas Magazine (Summer 2026, Issue AB) is an independent editorial publication built around art, culture, style, and inspiration. The brief was clear: design a print magazine that could hold its own on a shelf next to Kinfolk and Architectural Digest — while speaking to a completely different audience.
The design direction leans into controlled chaos. Raw, expressive artwork by Art by Bart anchors the visual identity, with a high-contrast black editorial system built around it. Rather than competing with the cover art, the typography works with it — oversized masthead, bold section headers, and a tight three-color palette (white, gold, red) that gives structure without softening the energy.
Key design decisions:
Cover system: Full-bleed artwork with a layered typographic hierarchy — masthead, feature callouts, and badges coexist without crowding
Interior spreads: "Beyond the Lines" feature uses an asymmetric layout to mirror the editorial content — breaking the grid where the story calls for it
Newsstand positioning: Designed to command attention in-context, not just in isolation. The cover reads at distance and up close
The result is a magazine identity that looks like it belongs in culture, not just on a shelf. Project: Elevate Designs – Startup Marketing Package
I created a complete visual identity and marketing collateral system for Elevate Designs, a home design and restoration company specializing in interior/exterior renovations. The goal was to build a professional, cohesive brand that feels elevated, trustworthy, and inspired by nature — perfectly reflecting their mountain-region roots and commitment to turning houses into homes.
Scope of Work:
Custom logo mark and wordmark with a bold, timeless “E” monogram
Double-sided business cards featuring elegant typography, a signature mountain-and-home illustration, and clean contact layout
Double-sided door hangers designed for direct local marketing, one side with aspirational lifestyle photography and colour palette, the other with detailed service information and a strong “Free Quote Today” call-to-action
Circular sticker / merch logo lockup for branding versatility
Consistent brand application across all pieces, including a refined green earth-tone palette and nature-inspired iconography
The design system balances modern minimalism with warm, approachable details that communicate quality craftsmanship. Every piece was created print-ready with proper bleed, resolution, and production considerations for professional results.
This startup package helps Elevate Designs stand out both in person and online while giving them flexible assets for social media, vehicles, packaging, and future marketing needs.
