My role largely consisted of organizing images and copy as well as allocating advertising space and sponsor logo pages. I also had the pleasure of working with Warren's Waterless Printing, a fantastic environmentally friendly printer, that truly helped make the festival guide resonate with the values of Planet in Focus. <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2687022/photo-12_600.JPG" border="0" width="600" height="448" width_o="2048" height_o="1529" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2687022/photo-12_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2687022/photo-11_600.JPG" border="0" width="600" height="448" width_o="2048" height_o="1529" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2687022/photo-11_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2687022/photo-14_600.JPG" border="0" width="600" height="448" width_o="2048" height_o="1529" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2687022/photo-14_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2687022/photo-15_600.JPG" border="0" width="600" height="448" width_o="2048" height_o="1529" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2687022/photo-15_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2687022/photo-10_600.JPG" border="0" width="600" height="448" width_o="2048" height_o="1529" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2687022/photo-10_o.JPG" align="left" /> http://guruthiru.com/Planet-in-Focus-Website http://guruthiru.com/following/guruthiru.com/Planet-in-Focus-Website Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:12:04 +0000 Guru Thiru's Portfolio 2686834 Working as the in-house designer for the film festival, required me to develop a multitude of banners and carousel slides to keep visitors updated and interested in the actives leading up to the festival. <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686834/PIF baner-01_600.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="73" width_o="1517" height_o="187" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686834/PIF baner-01_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686834/slide-2_600.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="221" width_o="950" height_o="350" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686834/slide-2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686834/Margaretslide_600.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="221" width_o="950" height_o="350" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686834/Margaretslide_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686834/slide-5_600.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="221" width_o="950" height_o="350" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686834/slide-5_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686834/WaterTable_600.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="221" width_o="950" height_o="350" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686834/WaterTable_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686834/TreeSlide_600.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="221" width_o="950" height_o="350" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686834/TreeSlide_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686834/BabySlide_600.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="221" width_o="950" height_o="350" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686834/BabySlide_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686834/festival2010posterslide_600.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="221" width_o="950" height_o="350" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686834/festival2010posterslide_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686834/Picture 63_600.png" border="0" width="600" height="375" width_o="1280" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686834/Picture 63_o.png" align="left" /> http://guruthiru.com/Meadow-Orchard-Family-Farm http://guruthiru.com/following/guruthiru.com/Meadow-Orchard-Family-Farm Fri, 27 Jan 2012 04:13:10 +0000 Guru Thiru's Portfolio 2686569 A small-scale mixed livestock farm in Hastings, Ontario.

With the average age of farmers in Ontario being 54, agriculture clearly needs new blood. Our current environmental, social and economic climate all require a shift to more sustainable practices, the original goal of my thesis was to draw attention to these alternative practices that new farmers could adopt to be both environmentally and economically viable. <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686218/DSC_0190_600.JPG" border="0" width="600" height="397" width_o="2048" height_o="1358" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686218/DSC_0190_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686218/DSC_0184_600.JPG" border="0" width="600" height="397" width_o="2048" height_o="1358" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686218/DSC_0184_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686218/DSC_0193_600.JPG" border="0" width="600" height="293" width_o="2048" height_o="1002" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686218/DSC_0193_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686218/DSC_0196_600.JPG" border="0" width="600" height="397" width_o="2048" height_o="1358" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686218/DSC_0196_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686218/DSC_0195_600.JPG" border="0" width="600" height="327" width_o="2048" height_o="1118" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686218/DSC_0195_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686218/DSC_0194_600.JPG" border="0" width="600" height="436" width_o="1617" height_o="1176" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686218/DSC_0194_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686218/DSC_0198_600.JPG" border="0" width="600" height="397" width_o="2048" height_o="1358" src_o="http://payload19.cargocollective.com/1/3/127006/2686218/DSC_0198_o.JPG" align="left" /> http://guruthiru.com/Ontario-Farrier-School http://guruthiru.com/following/guruthiru.com/Ontario-Farrier-School Fri, 27 Jan 2012 01:39:46 +0000 Guru Thiru's Portfolio 2686051 This hypothetical rebrand of the Ontario Farrier School was an in-depth research project of an educational institution of our choice.
