Vancouver, Canada

In April I was in Vancouver along with Delphine Hirasuna, Terry Irwin, George Fok, and Paul Tew as guests of the Society of Graphic Designers of Canada, British Columbia Chapter (GDC/BC), to judge Graphex’03: The Best of Visual Communication in Canada. Submissions from across Canada reflected the high calibre of graphic design one might expect, including some truly outstanding projects.

Judging took place at Capilano College, and each juror also gave a presentation to the local design community. The title of my talk was Walking backwards into the future… (drawn from a Maori saying relating to the wisdom of reflection and forethought). Thanks to the hard-working chapter executives and volunteers who helped make Graphex03 the big success it was.
