The layout and production of Blow Your Allowance: The Comics of Erin Robinson. Four years worth of comics by Erin Robinson were arranged and set in a bound paperback collection.

The book is available for purchase from 4-Colour 8-Bit Comics & Games in Kingston, Ontario.

Golden Words Science Fair Poster
Logo/Branding/Poster
Complete update of a logo that had been unused since 2006. Based upon the “Star Wars” feel of the old one, the new imagery was updated to connect with the new Golden Words branding and to connect the event with the spectacular imagery of a Science Fiction movie. A solid black on yellow colour scheme was chosen due to a surplus of yellow paper at Golden Words to eliminate the cost of purchasing new material for promotional items.
Tickets, posters, advertisements, name tags and table talkers for Science Fair used elements found within this poster. -
