Tado / Toronto Tourism Board & Starlight Children's Foundation

Tado / Toronto Tourism Board & Starlight Children's Foundation

Tado were recently invited to take part in a fantastic project put together by the Toronto Tourism board, The Magic Pony Gallery, CP+B, Narwhal Arts Projects and Lunch Creative.

Along with 15 other artists they designed 8 foot giant snowmen who have now taken over Toronto's parks, shopping malls and public spaces. The Torontoland Giant Snowman campaign is raising money for the Startlight Childrens Foundation who are dedicated to improving the quality of life for children with chronic and life-threatening illnesses and life-altering injuries. 

Each time a picture is taken of one of the snowmen and uploaded to facebook $2 will be donated to the charity, so if you're in Toronto please get hunting and snapping! You can view all the pictures taken so far on the official facebook galleries page here and find out more about the project and the artists involved here.

We've also added a big update to Tado's folio, click here, here and here to see more.

A Rich Rice Brand Re-design

We are pleased to share packaging illustrations by artist Webb Creative for Oriente, a premium rice brand out of Portugal. Webb Creative was brought on by Firecactus Creative Director John-Paul Hunter who led the brand’s redesign. Inside the V-shaped illustration, which is actually two grains of rice coming together, are Webb’s illustrations. Each rice variant has a different scene, depicting the fifth-generation owners and moments from the business’s history. As Hunter shared with Design Week: “That illustration needed to work hard, we wanted people to see something different every time.” A further dive into the meaning of each illustration can be found on the back of the pack. You can check out details of the redesign and more of Webb Creative’s work here.
