| Overview |
Our services include:
NETWORK BRANDING AND IDENTITY
It is essential to understand the culture and values of the broadcaster, the climate that it operates
within and the expectations of its audiences. Once we understand the unique character of the brand we can
impart wisdom as to its representation and the methods in which it is disseminated.
PRODUCTION DESIGN
CBC Graphic Design services a diverse range of productions. Show packages (program openings, ID's,
bumpers, stings, promos, film titles and prop and set graphics) incorporate a mastery of logo design,
typography, illustration, classical and digital animation, visual effects and compositing. These elements
work collaboratively to reinforce the identity of the production.
PRINT
Our print communication utilizes design theory, typography, layout, photography and illustration to
inform, educate and motivate our audiences. Logo, stationary, book jacket, poster, corporate brochures,
exhibit signage, package and prop designs are conceived and produced with careful consideration given to
paper selections, printing methods and the systems or environments they will exist within.
VISUAL EFFECTS AND COMPOSITING
Film and television are purveyors of optical magic. Our skillfully manipulated imagery, blue screen,
advanced keying, compositing, tracking techniques and special effects tease the viewer's audio and visual
sensory systems into perceiving what is crafted as absolute reality. |
