About

Publisher of perspective and personality for agencies and organizations willing to do the same.

--

Scott is an international award-winning Design Director / Art Director originally from New Zealand, now based in Canada.

Staring down 15 years’ experience working in design, his work covers conceptual editorial design, brand design, advertising art direction, and everything that falls within.

That may be a lot of things, but whether it’s for waste management giants, a postpartum support house, a city of 1.5 million, or stuffed-crust pizza, he brings the same relentless hunt for the big idea and an emotional intelligence that leaves even the most complex subjects simple and full of feeling.

About

MUSE is an annual photography exhibition running alongside Calgary's Exposure Photography Festival. This year marked the first ever printed catalog of works to support the exhibition.

More than simply documenting the featured artworks, the book and the spreads inside formed the entire editorial theme of the exhibition, with the spreads printed verbatim in large-format, becoming the literal works on the wall.

Across the submitted works in this year's exhibition, there was a clear theme of earnestness and the analogue, both in concept and in medium. To tie these submissions together and articulate their connections, we leaned into an icon of the analogue and the birthing tool of ideas: the humble pencil.
