    Global News Rebrand
    Global News is produced and broadcasted in 15 markets across the country covering the stories that matter most to Canadians and their local communities. Using big bold fonts and powerful compelling images with dramatic slices, the Global News brand showcases dramatic graphics with a focus on visual storytelling. Together, these elements produce a fluid, opening sequence and graphics package, providing a distinctive and consistent look to our news programming. As a network news rebrand, numerous elements were redesigned by our in-house team. Each of us had different responsibilities — my main tasks were to develop the online brand style guide and redesign social media content, infographics and web banners.

    CDIC Launch Campaign

    In 2021, I had the pleasure of storyboarding, designing and animating this sponsored content video for the CDIC (Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation) on behalf of Global News. The goal at the time was to create a straightforward, engaging animation introducing the CDIC to prospective clients. To achieve this, I took a minimalist design approach and utilized the corporation’s iconography—occasionally designing new icons for the explainer—along with its fonts and colour palette.
