Yesterday, my daughter pulled me into a Lego Store to show me this incredible retail display that had me playing like a kid.
So smart. So innovative, and a perfect match for a product that is anchored in our memories as a brand who believes in creativity. Well done Lego.

Ancient Design Principals Matched With Modern Technique
This is the premier design project for Vectorvault. And what an assignment to be awarded. Every step of the way has been an education and an opportunity to apply the design principals of Vectorvault across several mediums.
Mathematics are at the heart of ancient African culture. Geometry and measurement play a role in architecture as well as the art of that period. Vector art is also based on math. The synergies between ancient and modern techniques allowed this project to flourish. Even with a small dedicated team, and tight timelines, it was the foundation of vector art that allowed this project to be launched on time and on budget…

RasTa at the ROM – Visual design for The Royal Ontario Museum
By Adam Jarvis
Creative Director, VECTORVAULT
This Summer I was very honoured to be asked to work on the movie poster and emblem for a documentary called “RasTa – A Soul’s Journey“. Donisha Prendergast is the Grand Daughter of the legendary Bob Marley, and her travels have taken her to the four corners of the world to discover the roots of RasTafari.
We are pleased and proud to be a part of such an innovative program, said ROM representatives, Dr. Julian Siggers and Dr. Silvia Forni, who pushed the initiative forward. It is important to us to be a leader and make a contribution to the Black community.
Vectorvault has been called upon once again to develop visuals for an Exhibit at The Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto during the month of February for Black History Month. Once again, I am thrilled to be a part of it. Here is the design for the invitation:
The technique for this design was created using vector art. Learn more about it here.
This project requires a certain level of style and sophistication. Yet still have the flexibility to translate across several mediums. All of the imagery was drawn from The Vectorvault Vector Library. I wanted to make sure that it could live with the visual design of the film. I learned allot about the importance of symbolism from Tyson Brown. A RasTa himself with a passion for world history and the significance of RasTafari within it. He kept me on track.
If you are in Toronto during February, please visit The ROM and explore the rich history surrounding this mysterious and often misunderstood religion.
It’s been a great experience…

Video – Porter Airlines – The only way to fly
Toronto, Ontario –
Tyler Brule of Wallpaper Magazine knows a thing or two about traveling in style. His involvement with Porter Airlines has set a goal of redefining air travel as we know it. By attempting to bring back some of the touches that are missing from modern flight (like decent food and stylish waiting lounges), Porter has positioned itself as a leader. Here is their philosophy:
“Porter wants to be more than the airline of choice for our discriminating passengers. Whether youre a frequent business traveller or a weekend escape artist, Porters convenience, speed and service should be extended to your entire journey. Porter is building hotel, transportation, retail and entertainment partnerships that will grow with us as we expand to more destinations.
Were currently partnered with a small but exclusive group who share Porters vision of bringing sophistication and simplicity back to the travel experience. An emphasis on customer service and a willingness to consider innovative ideas make them leaders in their areas of business. We invite you to visit the websites of this special group to explore all they have to offer.”
The advertising campaign features an adorable little vector raccoon. This simple and stylish campaign does a great job lining up with the personality of the brand.
