I would like to tell you a story: “A couple of years ago my friends Doug, Jim and I completed a 4-kilometre hike to the Lions Head Lookout. When we reached the lookout, we stood at the edge of a sheer 500-meter cliff face which provided a spectacular view of Georgian Bay. On the horizon, we could see the start of the boreal forest growing along the edges of the Canadian Shield while below us, kayakers paddled along the wild, glacial shore of the Bruce Peninsula.

One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
