BLACK
LIVES
MATTER

As designers committed to decolonizing our practices, we feel that it is important for us to help amplify Black voices that have historically been underrepresented within our discipline. We are using this site as a public platform in support of Black Lives Matter within our communities and beyond. We ask that you take some time alongside looking at our work, to explore these collected resources.

FOR DESIGNERS:

FOR EVERYONE:

A Radical Library (incl. books, texts, podcasts, & articles)
How to talk to people who disagree
How to support Black artists

Do Better Things

Do Better Things is a tool for entrepreneurs that struggle with depression & anxiety.

The future of work is changing rapidly, and studies show that we’re leaning towards a majority of entrepreneurial and freelance-based career paths in the near future (Vomiero, 2017). Currently, about 60% of business owners struggle with mental illness (Côté, Janson, 2019). With the future work becoming increasingly entrepreneurial, the amount of mentally ill workers will continue to rise.

Do Better Things offers an inexpensive and easily distributable contribution towards the solution of this problem. The tool teaches lessons from Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, and focuses on providing mental health help in an organic and unobtrusive way; it is open-ended and can fit flexibly into any user’s daily life.

The cover of the main book, and a summary of the visual language. The project was completely typographical, and the icons visible were the only ones used. The entire project was black and white, and used pure CYMK values as accents.
A selection of business cards. Each card has a goal on one side and a lesson on how to achieve it on the other.
This is one of my smaller accompanying booklets. Each booklet dealt with a particular goal (ex, Get Paid More), and featured select lessons that would help a user work towards the goal. The booklets would have been a free takeaway option for Grad Ex.

Recession Grads is a digital archive & exhibition set to showcase the work of the Graphic Design 2020 graduating class at OCADU.
