6. AGENDA BRÉBEUF

Every year, Brébeuf asks the Design students to create a version of the annual collegiate planner for a contest. The only restrictions are the two page spread and logos. In May of 2023, my design was chosen to be the winner for the 2023-2024 planner. My design features a brain that transforms into a path that represents the Brébeuf Campus map.

The design is made from scans of textured paper, paint swatches, and sketches that were all altered and arranged in Photoshop. I wanted to highlight the Brébeuf values such as the quest for excellence and the aim to surpass oneself. This was done through symbolism of the images such as the computer motherboard and the student's brain.

7. RESPIRE

Elsa Gref, Respire, February 2023, 24" x 36", Multi-media project edited in Photoshop

This poster was made for the 2023 Marc Choko contest hosted by L’UQAM and Musée McCord.

Happening every year, the contest is for visual arts and design students all over Québec to get the opportunity to have their work be visible all over Montreal as well as at an exposition at Musée McCord.

For 2023, the theme was climate change. I wanted to provide a fresh take to this common theme, trying not to fall into clichés or overly used imagery.

I created this poster by scanning sketches, writing, and textures that I edited in Photoshop. I wanted to represent the apocalyptic state in which the world could find itself, as well as the eco-anxiety felt by the younger generations seeing the fast deterioration of the environment.
