Metrographics owner/creative director Doug Driediger was the man commissioned to paint 11 sites in northeast Calgary’s Crossroads area – Vista Heights and Mayland Heights – for the ‘Painted City’ initiative. Bad weather delayed the completion at the end of last year but he will be back shortly, creating a walking gallery of local species of birds.

Driediger also did the huge hand and dove mural on the side of CUPS and a landscape image on the back of the Calgary Petroleum Club building.

Metrographics is part of a team working on a ‘climbable interactive mural’ for Parks Canada to be installed at Science World Vancouver, and for that Driediger has spent two weeks painting on Salt Spring Island.

As for other big news, he has moved out of Currie Barracks and taken space for Metrographics in cSPACE creative hub.

No question Ryan Townend believes in the power of print magazines – he publishes one for his own William Joseph Communications.

The second issue of WJ Magazine considers the concept of authenticity as it relates to effective brand building and its power to inform identity, as well as highlights some of the recent projects that pay homage to the unique client relationships that define the work it does.

They include Genesis Aviation, PBA Land and Development, Global Troxler and Fabricland.

Parker’s Pick: Kudos to Sam Corea who understands the need to ramp up advertising during an economic downturn.
