Come listen to our two co-founders Kristian Hay and Zia Somjee talk at this month's edition of Type Brigade as part of the Design Vancouver Festival!

🚴♂️ If you’ve been around Metro Vancouver this summer you’ve probably come across the Bike Valet – a free and safe parking solution for bikes, and anything else that rolls! Last year, we worked with the Bike Valet to refresh their visual ID and messaging strategy as they work to achieve their ambition for more active transportation infrastructure in our cities. Keep your eyes open for a Bike Valet at an event near you! thebicyclevalet.ca

Cool to see the DeeBee's Organics team roll out new products within the top-level brand system we developed with them last year! ZAK loved being a part of the early creative development for Dip’Ems, and it’s rewarding to see how this all came to life in the end.

📚 A little look into some of the work for this years at Vancouver Writers Fest! We collaborated with local artist Gina Ortiz (lovealldesign.com) for this years campaign, leaning into the maker mentality that is present throughout Granville Island. Throughout our exploration with Gina, we identified that “hands” proved to be a solid and symbolic image. Hands can represent the act of assistance, generosity, connection — or simply turning the pages of a book. It also embodies the act of crafting and creating, qualities that are fundamental to the spirit of Granville Island.

🏠 Branding for Powerhouse – We used a modular visual framework to showcase the products pre-fab home design and easy installation. Design by ZAK

New Work! Powerhouse by Pack Buildings is a new approach to home development, empowering homeowners to unlock the potential of their land with ease. Designed by Human Studio, Powerhouse creates high quality, beautiful, and technically innovative pre-fab homes that require no price guesswork or lengthy construction times. We worked closely with the Powerhouse team to define their brand story, creative strategy, and an ID system that represents their pre fab build system. #realestate #branding #housing #vancouver #agency

AI in motion! 🔵 Here's a fun animation we worked on at ZAK to showcase AI powered technology for one of our clients in the web3 space. A good reminder that every touchpoint has the opportunity to be a creative and engaging brand moment. #design #brandsinmotion #ai

A quick look at some fun illustration assets that we’ve been working on for RSS3.io, a decentralized network indexing and structuring open information, making it accessible for the next generation of the internet. We’ve been working with the RSS3 team for the last year to help them refresh their brand and assets to make it easier to communicate their complex technology in an accessible and digestible way. Definitely interesting to learn more about blockchain technology and open information in the process! #design #web3 #openweb #illustration

It’s almost VIFF season! We can’t wait to share all the work we’ve been up to for the 2024 campaign creative, but in the meantime, here’s a teaser of this year’s look 👀 The Greater Vancouver International Film Festival Society

👀 Another year of VIFF is on the horizon, with campaign design + art direction from the team at ZAK Shout out to POSTPRO for being excellent collaborators on this as always!
