Element 5 Networks

I created an identity for a new Calgary-based company that provides the know-how and the (software) tools for companies in the midst of change or upgrades to their critical systems.
The services of Element 5 Networks are targeted toward IT managers looking for custom apps dev or secure and stable off-site hosting solutions.

Courting Food

Snapped this photo in the somewhat creepy food court of a Chinese shopping mall on Spadina. Half of the stalls were without tenants, and four of the remaining fast-food places seemed to offer the exact same meals with the same price: Four items for $5. I had some really, really greasy fried rice, string beans, squid and tofu. Unfortunately--or perhaps luckily--I was only able to finish half.

This is a shot I took of the Panzera S.A.S. fireworks show that marked the last night of L'International des Feux Loto-Québec, 2008. Taken on Pont Jacques-Cartier.

Ooh Yeah

Tajana Gregorsanec is a director from Calgary. There was a recent music video competition for Moby's track "Ooh Yeah", which she entered. She needed a prop flyer to be used in the film, which I created. The base image is a photograph I took in the Berri-UQAM metro station, of the wall tiles and one of the lighting fixtures.

Her video wasn't selected to be the official one, but I have a feeling that Moby himself didn't come up with the idea for a contest, and it was really his PR people that decided to get a lot of work for free. But that's another issue entirely.
