John L. Haar Library Graphics
Details
Bold supergraphics are used for a retro yet timeless feel, with additional imagery drawn from elements of community, collaboration, and innovation—core cultural values at MacEwan.
Studio 5341—made up of designers John Naboye, Quinton Wong, Cam Zimmel and myself—had the honour of working with MacEwan University to create a set of wall graphics for the newly renovated John L. Haar Library.

Details
Inspired by the strong foundations laid in Edmonton's Chinatown by the Asian Canadian community, the idea of "brickwork" transformed into tiles.
I had the pleasure and privilege of working with the Chinatown Transformation Collaborative Society (CTC) and King Noodle House—a resilient community and a local cornerstone business.
The tiles painted on the restaurant's shutters feature imagery that is important and relevant to the business and its culture. Additionally, the tile-stencil method we developed allows for easy reapplication.
