emissions and limitations.

'" Developed by Endeavour Marketing, the advertising campaign features the work of eight individuals - from Arthur Lismer and the Group of Seven, to the thesis project of recent OCAD U graduate, Henry Chong. It has been designed to roll out in several waves over the coming year. In addition to the transit posters, the first wave of the campaign features online advertising in theglobeandmail.com, blogTO.com, torontolife.com, cbc.ca and the Vice and Advice network. The campaign will also build on the award-winning visual identity work developed by Bruce Mau Design earlier this year.'"

Seeing things being put together and created strongly influenced my early years, as well as watching my older brother draw and make models. I started drawing at age 4, sketching toys, cars and family members, as well as making paper airplanes, kites, and plastic models. I would often take toys apart to study how they worked and then reassemble or repurpose them. The garment industry was a key influence in my life - it shaped my appreciation of line, form and construction. I remember also being strongly influenced by the first technical running shoes developed by Nike and Adidas. This was the beginning of a strong appreciation that great performance results from a marriage of technology and good design. My life-long passion for bicycles has led me to provide bike repair services, create custom bikes, work in a bike shop, as well as design innovative bicycles and components.
