RBC Dexia 2010 year in review

This year the design focus was on strength, so we took a organic approach focusing on plants around the world. Each plants represented a unique characteristic of RBC Dexia; weather it was the fast growing bamboo of China or the strong rooted New Zealand Rimu. 

The other main focus was technology, the site was not only browser compatible from IE 6 to IE 9 (which launched a week before the site), it was smart phone friendly too. We took it a step further when optimizing the site for tablets we used new touch API’s to allow user to swipe through articles and the accelerometer detection to change the layout from two columns to one when held in the portrait position.

RBC Dexia Year In Review 2008

The creative direction was on movement, “Pun” intended. We wanted to take a step back from the previous year with less animation and video. For 2008 the focus was content with an easy to use UI that pulled the user in.

Comda calendars and pens

This site combined a sleek flash interface with the ease of a database in-order to accommodate 1000’s of ever changing images. During the writers strike I proposed that Comda show their support by giving away pens engraved with “Comda supports Writers Guild of America” and have them emptied of ink. This if nothing else would have created some buzz in the media and Comda would have been the benefactor of an enormous amount free publicity.  Site is no longer as designed

Presto Card 

Presto is a new initiative by Go Transit to great a pass card that allows a user to travel through different transit systems using the same card. This project was a large undertaking and a tight timeline.
