Gregdubeau.com ver. 2.0!

Category: Blog

Welcome back!

It’s been a long time coming, but finally the new and improved gregdubeau.com is up and running.  This new version is improved in every way imaginably including four new galleries, twitter feed, RSS feed and a built-in blog homepage.  All the credit goes to the most talented Web Designer I know; Dan Robere who runs Frisson Creative out of Mississauga, Ontario.  I sat down with Dan over the summer to go over ways to develop a web site based around a user-friendly updating system.  He opened my eyes to the incredible powers of Wordpress. And now my entire web site functions based on “blog-like” posts.  So go check out my site!

Five months ago I ended Blue & Orange Hours, which was my student blog I kept while attending Sheridan.  After graduation I felt it was time to step away and gain some different perspective on life and art; hence, moving across the country to study Graphic Design at Vancouver Island University.  Now this is the first blog post I’ve attempted in five months.  So bare with me.  I have a lot of updates coming soon about my move to British Columbia, my adventures in Design School and the new work that I’m creating.  Time to get back on the horse!

And let me know what you think about the new site!  I’m so happy to be back on the web!  Big shout out to Dan Robere and his mad web design skills.  I wouldn’t be back without his help.

Here is the second installment of my video journal project.  First and foremost I want to thank my friends who are kind enough to let me film some of our outings.  I try to make every bit of footage tasteful, while maintaining the integrity of the material.  No script is used and all footage is [...]

Update time!
My friend Nimit Malavia sent me this super-awesome postcard the other day.  And I’ll tell you why it’s “super-awesome” and just not regular-awesome.  First of all, the dude can draw.  His work has always been bananas and I always sit on the edge of my seat waiting to see his latest work.  Secondly, the [...]

This is the poster for the 2010 Superior Youth Festival, which is organized by Youth Zone.  This is the second year that I’ve worked with Youth Zone to develop a brand for the festival.  Last year I helped to re-brand their logo, which can be found here.  Initially I planned for it to be very [...]

Hey everybody,
Just thought I would give a shout out to Hawk & Squirrel: The Podcast.  H&S is a podcast put together by three former graduates of the Sheridan BAA Illustration program (like me), more specifically Nimit Malavia, Juan Solon and Chad Covino.  Episodes include intimate nerd-speak about everything specific to Illustrators.  So you can imagine [...]

This is a little script doodle I was messing around with.  I have a love-hate relationship with any script typeface.  Let’s just say I think they are overused by amateurs who think it looks “elegant” and abused by bros who feel the need to tattoo their own name on their own back.  You know what [...]

Stephan Sagmeister in my mind is one of the foremost imaginative and successful designers in the world.  I was first introduced to his work approximately four years ago, while attending Sheridan and have been following him ever since.  His methods are unconventional and the outcome is nothing ever short of inspiring.  And I am so [...]
