Credits from the blog: Sr CD: Ruth Balbach; CD: Steve Chirhart; Sr. AD: Allan Peters; Sr. CW: Sage Rider; Illustrator: Lab Partners. </p> <blockquote> <p>When Target launched it’s first 200 stores in Canada, the brand needed to make a few friends. As the lead Art Director on the Canada social team, I came up with the idea to create vintage travel poster inspired artwork showing bullseye the dog traveling across the country. The posts were strategically leaked throughout the day starting with a tight crop and the post “Hi Neighbor! Bullseye is out on the open road helping celebrate our Canadian store openings. Keep checking in and see if you can spot where he is next”. This invited the audience to participate in a guessing game based on the landmarks revealed in the illustrations. At the end of the day the location was revealed with a message stating how excited Target was to be their new neighbor.</p> </blockquote> <p>Has anyone photographed the Target - Skytrain wrap? <a href="http://illustratedvancouver.ca/ask">Let me know</a> if you spot it in person or via Twitter, Flickr, or Instagram.</p> </blockquote>http://yuriartibise.tumblr.com/post/50712390994http://yuriartibise.tumblr.com/post/50712390994Sat, 18 May 2013 02:44:51 -0400vancouver<a href="http://thecityfm.org/2013/05/15/the-bc-election-and-what-it-means-for-cities/">The BC Election and What It Means for Cities</a>http://yuriartibise.tumblr.com/post/50710715759http://yuriartibise.tumblr.com/post/50710715759Sat, 18 May 2013 02:03:18 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/9c6a19813d96edf310327e6b032f5f37/tumblr_meubo7mf1u1qetjv6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://yuriartibise.tumblr.com/post/50219094668http://yuriartibise.tumblr.com/post/50219094668Sat, 11 May 2013 22:59:37 -0400<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/65201138" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>STREETFACTS #4: Children Have Lost the Freedom to Roam by Streetfilms</p>http://yuriartibise.tumblr.com/post/50106876825http://yuriartibise.tumblr.com/post/50106876825Fri, 10 May 2013 15:52:49 -0400iftttvimeo<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/65201138" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>STREETFACTS #4: Children Have Lost the Freedom to Roam</p>http://yuriartibise.tumblr.com/post/50106508881http://yuriartibise.tumblr.com/post/50106508881Fri, 10 May 2013 15:47:06 -0400Vimeostreetfactsstreetfilms<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/65201138" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/65201138">STREETFACTS #4: Children Have Lost the Freedom to Roam from </a><a href="http://vimeo.com/streetfilms">Streetfilms</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><blockquote></blockquote>http://yuriartibise.tumblr.com/post/50106379412http://yuriartibise.tumblr.com/post/50106379412Fri, 10 May 2013 15:45:05 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4ca34879fed6bf1d6a78c049b4ba69f8/tumblr_mmi6c5NNU71qak7cbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><big>Vancouver Urbanist Meetup and Jane’s Walk Wrap Up—May 12th</big></p><blockquote><p>It’s time for May’s Vancouver Urbanist Meetup!</p> <p>This month’s get together is a special event.

To tie in with this theme, the Urban Design Review will be featuring lessons from pioneering global cities. ‘City Government for the New Urban World’is the second entry in this series.</h5> <p>The 21st century city stands poised to play a critical role as a great problem solver and generator of prosperity. We are discovering that only dense cities can reduce our heavy environmental footprint and address the devastating progress of climate change. We are figuring out how to get more out of less, drawing on their inherent capacity to solve multiple problems laterally, not one at a time. And we are embracing Jane Jacobs’ profound insight that cities are not mechanical constructs, but ‘organized complexity’ better understood by analogy with the science of living organisms. But here’s the rub: while this new way of seeing the city is widely shared, we often find that we have inherited systems on auto-pilot that were designed to produce a very different kind of urban world.</p> <p><a href="http://urbandesignreview.org/post/48200535843">Read More</a></p> </blockquote>http://yuriartibise.tumblr.com/post/48366495940http://yuriartibise.tumblr.com/post/48366495940Fri, 19 Apr 2013 13:29:30 -0400
