Sustainable Cites of The Future Charette


For the past five days I have been participating in a design charette. It is an intensive design initiative held by George Brown College. I along with my fellow studio lab Graphic Design partners worked with the Institute Without Boundaries grad students and collaborated with Advanced Digital Imaging students as well as some new and amazing creatives from Copenhagen in Denmark.
We all divided into four teams of 10 - 12 and worked intensively to come up with 4 programs to help bring sustainability to Markham On.
My group created an investor/cyclist sponsorship program to help promote biking as a mode of transportation for commuters and residents. The breakdown of this program is that large companies and investors sponsor section of major roadways in Markham to bring funding to help build bike lanes and continue upkeep.
The cyclists part in the program is to use social media, mainly twitter to document problems and create a communication between commuters.
The program is designed as an app for smart phones which documents the cyclists route, distance and CO2 saved by biking. The cyclist can instantly upload photos of obstructions in roads and interesting or funny events that might happen to them during their trip. The information provided by the cyclist not only is posted to the online community but is also sent to the city of Markham to archive and correct.

I am so lucky to have been able to work with such amazing people and designers all weekend! Below is the kiosk presentation and branding that I had the pleasure to create!
