A black and white ad for the local news paper ad promoting the Bank Cafe's Italian night menu.

Chocolarte

A sign we did 4 years ago. I never took a photo of it until I came across it and grabbed one with an iphone on the 24th.

I designed a sign that visually fit the broad facia while respecting the integrity of their established logo. The dimensional slats buffer the tight rectangle of the logo panel to the elongated facia while creating interest and harmony in such a large empty space.

With the gold leafed ends the sign resembles an understated decadent chocolate bar.

The ad was created in the brand of the Bank Cafe as a well established part of Creemore's historical fabric. (early rural Ontario).

The style of the Bank's advertising is archetypal of a time that seemed simple and values where wholesome and honest. Promising trust and comfort.

The top panel casually glides over the illustration of the cake reflecting the lines of the melted toffee, lending a sense of ease and guiding the eye down the ad.

the colour palate has an orange undertone throughout, bestowing an overall warm glow to the ad.

Using natural mediums, Jordan creates exquisitely simple and grounded pieces.

The organic signature lettering reflects the organic, earthy quality of the artists work.

Since Jordan's work is created from the center out, the ancient Druid swirl symbol (for life) seemed like a natural.
