DARE TO BE THERE
Global is a major Canadian manufacturer of office furnishings throughout the world. Their annual A+D (Architects & Designers) party is considered to be one of the best events of the industry. In 2014 it was placed at the Gardiner Museum and celebrated Halloween, focused on voodoo and day-of-the-dead aesthetics. See some of the email invitations here.

THE POWER
OF THE GOLD FOIL
Run by the Canadian Opera Company, Centre Stage is a premier national fundraiser dedicated to the discovery and celebration of the next generation of opera stars. The main event, the Ensemble Studio Competition, brings the most talented voices to a thrilling final, followed by a special gala dinner. At BT/A Advertising, I was in charge of the whole identity of the 2016 event, including the luxurious printed invitation. Inspired by art Deco opera houses, the premium invitations were nested in a premium deep blue box with golden sleeve. The strong concept, sophisticated details and perfect manufacturing by Colour Innovations scored a shiny trophy at the Canadian Printing Awards 2016.

After a major renovation of its Montreal Showroom, I created a large poster to decorate the wall facing the main entrance. Colored with the same scheme seen on the products displayed, the graphic highlights the wide range of office seatings offered by Global.
