The Centre for Social Innovation opens a new building!

Art Director, Designer, Illustrator: Gil Martinez, RGDDesigner:
The Centre for Social Innovation has opened a new location, and I designed this poster to welcome new tenants into the space. I like to use calligraphy in my work, and although a quick job, I am very pleased with this particular project.

Farmer's Market at CSI!

Art Director, Designer, Illustration: Gil Martinez, RGDDesigner:
I've been helping out at, and working out of, The Centre for social Innovation. This incredible community hosts several progressive organizations and businesses. We are all committed to social change, and try to support local businesses that grow food responsibly. There is a mini-market there each Tuesday, and I have produced this poster to promote the event. I am exploring the graphic language of the 40s, 50s and 60s. I hope you like it as much as I do!

The Gold Tooth

This is part of a personal project—a series of CD-sized images each dealing with a specific genre of Mexican music. This one deals with "NarcoCorridos", a type of folk song that is based on people and events surrounding the drug trade in the US-Mexico border.

For those of us that don't like the partyin' anymore, Pride has formed the 40+ committee, which is the new 80 in the gaytto. It was to be promoted with this flyer, but we ended up distributing it electronically.

Pride Gala—A theme and some variations

Pride Toronto Brand Update

Art Director: Gil Martinez, RGD

Pride Toronto has grown up a lot since 2008. No more design on a whim or by committee. Now we actually think about what we are trying to achieve, and one of the results is this fresh new logo. On the image you can compare both the old and the new marks.

These are the cards that we're using to promote Pride Toronto. The design brief asked for a campaign that could be used to promote the festival abroad, within the GLBTTIQQ2S community in Toronto, and to members of the community who might be disenfranchised and looking for support.











Help wanted—Pride Toronto
