Red, Blue, no wait, Red...




What is your favourite colour? In an earlier post i declared the colour code issues with China and Canada, or at least my specs sheets. Well here is a direct example of what i meant, in all the glory of my old 1.6 mega pixel Kodak Camera:) Sadly, for the 2 years i designed these products i failed to properly document them for a portfolio, on account of there was just so much work and not nearly enough time to think of a personal goal, a solid reflection of over 300 designs. The London Drugs was found on a bike in Victoria BC, somewhere near the Ferry while waiting to go back home from a very cold weekend of snow and slushy BEER with Big E, one of the two owners of the previously Tofino's Raven Skate Shop.

Now Mr. Black there, well he never made the cut, and not for reason of everyone wanting to be Mr.Black and Mr. Pink getting all whiny again. No, this was due to licensing and another name was already bought and paid for. what did i do? Well i did what any self respecting creative would do, i blurred the copy, added the new name and kept the artwork i believed to be the best for the product. Yes, that is my face on over 300,000 bikes out there on the streets of the world- it was bound to happen. I still think the Top Bike companies are missing out on some great possibilities for design on bikes, but their getting it a bit more now...
