BirdDog Design

BirdDog Design BirdDog Design is an independent graphic design company located in Vieux Hull, Quebec. We offer a c We were established in 1995. How do we do it? Be kind.

We offer a collaborative, fun and approachable way of working with our clients. Whether they are seeking a new brand identity, an innovative and agile digital presence or an entire branding campaign, we ensure their needs are met with efficiency and great style. Since then, we are proud to say that we are small enough to be responsive, but big enough to carry weight in the world of branding and ma

rketing. It comes down to our moral code. Kindness comes in many forms, but in business it means listening to a client with compassion and authenticity. It also translates into respecting the demanding lives they have as leaders in business, non-profits, industry and new digital spaces. What else? We lead by example doing pro bono work and volunteering as community builders. Work hard. Or maybe we should say, ‘work smart’. We have developed a simple, streamlined creative process that is both collaborative and cost-effective. It works because we are a small, dedicated team of talented, highly-skilled professionals who believe more in making a difference to a client’s business than in billable hours. There, we said it. Stay excellent. What is excellence in graphic design? It’s nothing less than being able to sleep at night, knowing we have done great work with integrity. It even comes through in our workplace, a converted heritage building where our small team (and office dog) are in constant, collaborative communication with each other to achieve creative greatness. (Except for the dog.)

Do you like to be surprised? I know I do.

I was thrilled when I stopped in at today and noticed the beautiful boxes on the counter.

A cardboard box embellished with white ink, a handmade logo and beautiful florals turns into a delightful surprise for the receiver. Not to mention what’s on the inside…

Oh, and then, the pretty gift card that slides out of this lovely sleeve with pale pink and sage green.

Honestly, what could be nicer for Valentine’s Day? (OK… any excuse to be gifted products from Oresta 😉) but still, I wanted to make the packaging as beautiful and inspired as the store, the wonderful women who work there, Oresta herself and the products she chooses to carry. Because she puts a lot of thought and effort into what’s in her store. And I know she loves her clients and wants them to be delighted.

I'm excited to share this first look at the website in the works to celebrate BirdDog’s 30th Anniversary.

It was challenging to find the thread at first but after a conversation with photographer Peter Knippel about our photo shoot I found the beat I wanted to pursue (I’d also credit Chrissy Hynde for some album cover artwork as inspiration).

Getting clear about the right feeling and direction can be difficult as it brings up all kinds of objections and questions. I have found it much easier to get clear on the direction for other people's projects - I see the best in them.

The testimonials I received have been incredibly humbling. You often don’t know how others perceive you, what you do or the impact you have. Incredible!

This is just the start. More to come…

Savour the moments. Celebrate the holiday season your loved ones - friends, family, family of choice. And remember to rest. As my friend David says... naps are the answer.

So much great and honest information about working with an influencer. This can be a crucial, game changing part of your marketing.

I was recently invited to design a new logo for the Manotick Village BIA. The Village is bustling and very community oriented. In turn, residents really support their business community and it shows!

I wanted to give the MBIA a strong and timeless logo that could represent it's 140+ members in a more modern way. By using this stylish lower case m, curvier and more inviting than it's stiff uppercase counterpart, we're showing how welcoming and laid back the Village is.

We have specified brand colours; heritage blue and buttercream to touch on Manotick's rich history, AND we have included some livelier colours to bring fun and movement to street banners.

Thank you to the MBIA and it's members for allowing me the opportunity to redesign their Village's identifying mark.

What a great collaboration! 😊

What she said 👇👆

In her book, “Make It Bigger,” Paula Scher hits upon some very salient points - well known to seasoned designers but not often articulated so perfectly.

“The ability to explain graphic design is fundamentally different from the ability to create graphic design, and it relies on different faculties.”

“The act of explaining design requires specific order and logic, the active creating design involves a form of disorder, with outer stimuli thrown together into the mixer of the human brain. The result is something that is various parts, intellect, inspiration, and obsession.”

“In the explanation process, the designer must deconstruct his or her work and place it in a logical sequence, so someone can understand its components and see how they collectively create an entity that has a specific idea, spirit, and look.”

“The act of designing is more ephemeral; it is an intuitive process informed by external forces that direct the intuition. Whereas a solution can be explained, the process that created it can never adequately be understood.“
