A benefit was organized in support of Dan Grice, the Vancouver Quadra Green Party’s 2008 by-election candidate. The event was to include a silent auction, buffet, no-host bar and cabaret show. Their team came to my studio in need of a series of deliverables including a flyer, tickets and social media campaign design.
Background
Vancouver Quadra is a federal electoral district in British Columbia that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons since 1949. Within the boundaries of this riding are the University of British Columbia and the western portions of the affluent Vancouver Westside. At the time, Dan Grice was the Vancouver-Quadra candidate for the Green Party of Canada. A UBC graduate, he has played a leadership role in BC’s electoral reform movement.
Process
I designed the event flyer, tickets and organization’s Facebook event page to reflect a classic speakeasy atmosphere, utilizing a sepia toned photograph of an old-fashioned microphone.
The Green Party logo contrasted nicely with the earthy sepia colour.
Result
The event was a success and raised both funds and awareness for Dan Grice and the Green Party of Canada.
