Located at 894 College Street in Toronto, the space functioned as both a retail store and mixed-use community arts and music venue. The aim of the project was to provide a platform for underground culture and DIY efforts; using the space to expose people to alternative modes of thinking, creating and connecting. As the sole proprieter and operator of this small business and venue space, I was able to dedicate all of my energy into creating a community hub; a place where culture was created and like-minded people could come together. I had the opportunity to utilize my skills as a desginer to create a complete visual identity and physical environment that reflected it. <img width="1080" height="1080" width_o="1080" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4c88f81a5fcaac914cf038b728620afc06160e538baf3f2b0661e6cc07289e98/OutsideView.jpg" data-mid="53342364" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4c88f81a5fcaac914cf038b728620afc06160e538baf3f2b0661e6cc07289e98/OutsideView.jpg" /><img width="780" height="1080" width_o="780" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bfd72dc48391f763308324f3e84228af4d722934e6771db07b96b58b68dda130/Sandwich2.jpg" data-mid="53642146" border="0" data-scale="32" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/780/i/bfd72dc48391f763308324f3e84228af4d722934e6771db07b96b58b68dda130/Sandwich2.jpg" />&nbsp;&nbsp;<img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/835174c72a7395e4503ef4a0ab4ed404e1a2afc7cc42d62f66e579a7c6db79f8/ShopPanoBW.jpg" data-mid="53342782" border="0" data-scale="66" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/835174c72a7395e4503ef4a0ab4ed404e1a2afc7cc42d62f66e579a7c6db79f8/ShopPanoBW.jpg" /> The visual identity and branding aesthetic references black and white Xerox photocopies and utilitarian Letraset fonts - common elements to DIY show flyers of the 80s and 90s.

The outcome was simple, minimal and produced a system of elements that could be easily be applied to a range of materials. <img width="3000" height="2037" width_o="3000" height_o="2037" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/21c98603de4ddf84253d875dd8472d6ef2abef8493fd61935b53d69ad8630be5/FVIdentity.jpg" data-mid="52537847" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/21c98603de4ddf84253d875dd8472d6ef2abef8493fd61935b53d69ad8630be5/FVIdentity.jpg" /><img width="3000" height="1707" width_o="3000" height_o="1707" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/03ac6d963076b3e2745538b4c5192139f3939cce7f4e4eb4183756fe2f46b69d/FVUrban.jpg" data-mid="52642126" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/03ac6d963076b3e2745538b4c5192139f3939cce7f4e4eb4183756fe2f46b69d/FVUrban.jpg" /><img width="3000" height="2795" width_o="3000" height_o="2795" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/417368368cf9f726c3175249064f415abdfa486455663e69dee4f2a4dc82a36d/Stationary3.jpg" data-mid="53641335" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/417368368cf9f726c3175249064f415abdfa486455663e69dee4f2a4dc82a36d/Stationary3.jpg" /><img width="3000" height="2011" width_o="3000" height_o="2011" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f6ee8954f692b20a423a83258275f7df3c623cf96261e9e92f19d0eddedd96f2/GiftCertificates.jpg" data-mid="52634883" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f6ee8954f692b20a423a83258275f7df3c623cf96261e9e92f19d0eddedd96f2/GiftCertificates.jpg" /><img width="3000" height="2206" width_o="3000" height_o="2206" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/befd20344a4ca4bfa1a7595c4f856e919dbe43c3f9b9e979807b6f921b7de9fb/FVTote.jpg" data-mid="52548893" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/befd20344a4ca4bfa1a7595c4f856e919dbe43c3f9b9e979807b6f921b7de9fb/FVTote.jpg" /><img width="2414" height="2711" width_o="2414" height_o="2711" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2cbf24888e82b661f73ea0b2b73d53508804af0d1c6eedf8f0075ef730947956/RecordBag.jpg" data-mid="53396531" border="0" data-scale="81" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2cbf24888e82b661f73ea0b2b73d53508804af0d1c6eedf8f0075ef730947956/RecordBag.jpg" /> Audio &amp; Visual Noise For Mass Consumption was FAITH/VOID’s online web store component.

Customers, show attendees, touring bands, visitors from afar, employees and volunteers regularly appeared on the social media accounts; connecting the international audience with the local community.

Due to the multi-use nature of the space, all fixtures were designed to be modular and moveable. The record bins, front desk and dividing walls were built on castors so that the space could be changed quickly to suit different uses. The moveable walls could be used to divide the space into smaller areas, as hanging wall space for art exhibitions or as a projection surface for film screenings. They were also used as storage space for music equipment, overstock, supplies and extra seating. <img width="2000" height="1843" width_o="2000" height_o="1843" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/086e8e61db611d3d3f421c1b66e88b7b50beb0e34bb690897fd1e8092048f2a9/Space.jpg" data-mid="53413192" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/086e8e61db611d3d3f421c1b66e88b7b50beb0e34bb690897fd1e8092048f2a9/Space.jpg" /> Changing and combining the modular elements in different ways allowed me to experiment with how the organization of the space influenced the way people moved through it and interacted with it.<img width="2000" height="1345" width_o="2000" height_o="1345" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/56d14fb0ea4aa79ff633ed9049359be53ae667bd8b7ed86703cb09ba589b6017/FV-Floorplan.gif" data-mid="53261124" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/56d14fb0ea4aa79ff633ed9049359be53ae667bd8b7ed86703cb09ba589b6017/FV-Floorplan.gif" /><img width="1080" height="810" width_o="1080" height_o="810" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/66707d2c47885d39b3df7f3b9d7fed195664ad0a7040109ba4bc8eb480f04969/Mural.jpg" data-mid="53414515" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/66707d2c47885d39b3df7f3b9d7fed195664ad0a7040109ba4bc8eb480f04969/Mural.jpg" />Over the course of its run, FAITH/VOID hosted over 200 events including live music performances, film screenings, art exhibitions, book launches, readings, community workshops and vendor markets. Every one of these events was organized, promoted and run by members of the Toronto DIY music and arts community.&nbsp; FAITH/VOID became a hub for the local and international DIY music community, with bands and people visiting from all over the world. Thanks to the reach of social media and annual DIY international music festivals such as NOT DEAD YET, the space became a destination for fans of the underground. &nbsp;<img width="3300" height="2550" width_o="3300" height_o="2550" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/54c0a311f32ddef1265002a8f73f106b7f371d250b1362c477208d13d0c5e296/FINAL.jpg" data-mid="53327819" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/54c0a311f32ddef1265002a8f73f106b7f371d250b1362c477208d13d0c5e296/FINAL.jpg" /><img width="1080" height="792" width_o="1080" height_o="792" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a453b69fd40b4ce2488300732fa191619c9cad228699a1db97084efecb0564d4/ArtOpening.jpg" data-mid="53417269" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a453b69fd40b4ce2488300732fa191619c9cad228699a1db97084efecb0564d4/ArtOpening.jpg" /><img width="2502" height="1304" width_o="2502" height_o="1304" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1d7e1087633c421922f8680805606900f09e475c7f37e39e47e0c009a7690c5d/Screen-Shot-2019-10-25-at-8.21.08-PM.png" data-mid="53417698" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1d7e1087633c421922f8680805606900f09e475c7f37e39e47e0c009a7690c5d/Screen-Shot-2019-10-25-at-8.21.08-PM.png" /><img width="1122" height="1096" width_o="1122" height_o="1096" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6dfa8980e6c42d35427b0015c4844d9a96618a9cd1870a981fb6cd74bd4a7ff1/Screen-Shot-2019-10-25-at-8.26.21-PM.png" data-mid="53418141" border="0" data-scale="49" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6dfa8980e6c42d35427b0015c4844d9a96618a9cd1870a981fb6cd74bd4a7ff1/Screen-Shot-2019-10-25-at-8.26.21-PM.png" />&nbsp;&nbsp;<img width="1192" height="1198" width_o="1192" height_o="1198" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5e5defd9f1abd4f8cb07c1f5e019d76c33e53fa17d27c0231f31369bb9747c76/Screen-Shot-2019-10-25-at-8.27.41-PM.png" data-mid="53418142" border="0" data-scale="49" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5e5defd9f1abd4f8cb07c1f5e019d76c33e53fa17d27c0231f31369bb9747c76/Screen-Shot-2019-10-25-at-8.27.41-PM.png" /><img width="1194" height="866" width_o="1194" height_o="866" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3bf02ade326a3e030118b77cf02304696154fe85fc0b3ffe2f7775fed6f4599f/Live.jpg" data-mid="53418395" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3bf02ade326a3e030118b77cf02304696154fe85fc0b3ffe2f7775fed6f4599f/Live.jpg" /><img width="1194" height="1192" width_o="1194" height_o="1192" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/83f7b0914ebdd215750e2b678affc246ff280ae5412e358bba3dff0ab56daa2e/AK.jpg" data-mid="53418203" border="0" data-scale="49" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/83f7b0914ebdd215750e2b678affc246ff280ae5412e358bba3dff0ab56daa2e/AK.jpg" /> &nbsp;<img width="1194" height="1192" width_o="1194" height_o="1192" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/620f090aff4c0c3712265c99e6ef5f76d39cac3aaaa28dbc6c40d8eb8fac09ad/Talk.jpg" data-mid="53418204" border="0" data-scale="49" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/620f090aff4c0c3712265c99e6ef5f76d39cac3aaaa28dbc6c40d8eb8fac09ad/Talk.jpg" /><img width="1080" height="1350" width_o="1080" height_o="1350" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c1cb23a2cd81862b9c3da53f469f19bef61c73f3ed64e16d5651a79ad161cc74/FV-PARTY.jpg" data-mid="53418549" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c1cb23a2cd81862b9c3da53f469f19bef61c73f3ed64e16d5651a79ad161cc74/FV-PARTY.jpg" /> Design Process The name FAITH / VOID is a reference to Dischord Records’ first split 12” release by the bands The Faith and Void (known as the Faith/Void split). It represents the two aspects of the space - the retail shop (Faith) and the venue space (Void). I wanted the identity of the branding to exist in the middle of a powerful duality - a play between total involvement and the opportunity that exists in a space or void. I wanted explore these concepts because I believed them to be central to the DIY movement from its inception. The icons and wordmark make reference to these coexisting dualities, while also visually referring to xerox photocopies and letraset fonts - important tools that embody the spirit of “Do It Yourself”. <img width="3000" height="1509" width_o="3000" height_o="1509" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7b04a3889f4d350df6a04d034acd0fb95c0710c59c25664075b130088a15c3df/Split.jpg" data-mid="52537736" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7b04a3889f4d350df6a04d034acd0fb95c0710c59c25664075b130088a15c3df/Split.jpg" /><img width="828" height="1080" width_o="828" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a702751e05246f9b7534106577ae6307ed581f8c9790947e92be0d13be89e13b/MinorThreat.jpg" data-mid="55272386" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/828/i/a702751e05246f9b7534106577ae6307ed581f8c9790947e92be0d13be89e13b/MinorThreat.jpg" /><img width="722" height="1080" width_o="722" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/048b8a1c838e39dd6fba72186d0ca4c7c4bcac732ff55f8b375ce3331b466bc9/Letra.jpg" data-mid="55273231" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/722/i/048b8a1c838e39dd6fba72186d0ca4c7c4bcac732ff55f8b375ce3331b466bc9/Letra.jpg" /> The F/V logo was created by enlarging and cropping the bottom right corner of the “Void” side of the Faith/Void album art. Conceptually, I liked the idea of taking an element of a pre-existing form and creating something entirely new by recontextualizing it. To me, it was a&nbsp; reference to culture’s evolution by building on what came before; by utilizing existing forms and languages to communicate new things under new circumstances.&nbsp; The arrow works as a directional indicator of something more to be found on the other side. This was utilized to make reference to the shop’s underground location, as well as the nature of the cultural artifacts to be found inside.<img width="1080" height="600" width_o="1080" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/39c84763db588ba96996d46453dd3ae0cdced454bc22104210fe90ca58716995/Icon.jpg" data-mid="55273027" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/39c84763db588ba96996d46453dd3ae0cdced454bc22104210fe90ca58716995/Icon.jpg" /><img width="1080" height="600" width_o="1080" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e63958f4af99aaea6b628bccdb3bac3d9d138bbd306c03554d8dda0f1c4ba9d4/Wordmark.jpg" data-mid="55273026" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e63958f4af99aaea6b628bccdb3bac3d9d138bbd306c03554d8dda0f1c4ba9d4/Wordmark.jpg" /> https://ryantong.work/GRAPHICS-FOR-FILM-TV Mon, 21 Oct 2019 16:30:30 +0000 Ryan Tong - Graphic Designer https://ryantong.work/GRAPHICS-FOR-FILM-TV Graphics for Film &amp; TV Design and production of graphic elements for the purposes of set decorating, props and signage.

I had been working part time as a production assistant in the art department for film and TV.&nbsp; I was helping to decorate sets - using props, furniture and plants to create environments to shoot scenes in. I thought it would be interesting to use physical objects instead of images to create a poster for an upcoming gig. The concept explores the idea of exploiting the human ego to influence perception and generate capital. It seemed appropriate, as most gig posters nowadays were used primarily online and on social media platforms to promote events. <img width="2000" height="2662" width_o="2000" height_o="2662" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8ca286e15f1e32e75aa16ffe5b1535818d30aecc392aae29a7849ae152d0d97a/BLUANXXIETY2.jpg" data-mid="53422885" border="0" data-scale="57" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8ca286e15f1e32e75aa16ffe5b1535818d30aecc392aae29a7849ae152d0d97a/BLUANXXIETY2.jpg" /> March 1, 2019. My initial concept was to create artwork inspired by Gee Vaucher (CRASS) and her surreal collage work; using the aesthetic to explore an issue relevant to the current digital age. The end result puts the viewer somewhere in the midst of a bad acid trip, 2001: A Space Odyssey and a love/hate relationship with smartphone technology.<img width="2480" height="3508" width_o="2480" height_o="3508" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8b615ef79e6e6360abbbcddc2766ce165f0f7cd2875ee0d49579f3f2bd2c0cb2/SSW-FLyer.jpg" data-mid="53422891" border="0" data-scale="54" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8b615ef79e6e6360abbbcddc2766ce165f0f7cd2875ee0d49579f3f2bd2c0cb2/SSW-FLyer.jpg" /> 2013-2019. S.H.I.T.mas is a holiday celebration for outcasts, misfits and those who generally prefer noise to actual music - a festivus for the rest of us, if you will. It typically falls between Xmas and New Years, organized by members of Toronto punk band S.H.I.T. This special holiday party features live band performances, gifts, giveaways, a ‘Feast of Shame’, and donates all money raised at the door to local oranizations. The aim is to exploit the spectacle of the holiday season in order to bring people together and give something back during a time of mass consumersim. The event always proved to be a great success, typically gathering over 300 attendees and raising thousands of dollars for organizations such as Planned Parenthood Toronto, Native Women's Resource Centre of Toronto and Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape. <img width="1080" height="1350" width_o="1080" height_o="1350" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/be5f995f1db969e78a7e2b0b3ce3a50e8f602d25e2ffa89fe49999d7252c54c8/SHITMAS2019-IG.jpg" data-mid="56894339" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/be5f995f1db969e78a7e2b0b3ce3a50e8f602d25e2ffa89fe49999d7252c54c8/SHITMAS2019-IG.jpg" /><img width="2680" height="2709" width_o="2680" height_o="2709" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2f50ba857742eff17862ab3dc676a93d7395bc75125fefdebcf1539709106158/Shitmas2018-2.jpg" data-mid="53423515" border="0" data-scale="73" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2f50ba857742eff17862ab3dc676a93d7395bc75125fefdebcf1539709106158/Shitmas2018-2.jpg" /> <img width="1892" height="2919" width_o="1892" height_o="2919" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/66b9394014d43ceb495326392a3d87f3ab6224d544cd68d3cfedae8157dec955/Shitmas2016-2.jpg" data-mid="53422889" border="0" data-scale="48" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/66b9394014d43ceb495326392a3d87f3ab6224d544cd68d3cfedae8157dec955/Shitmas2016-2.jpg" /> <img width="1914" height="2949" width_o="1914" height_o="2949" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6867b9d110b6c8706b1bfbb424862ec6935d89907a854a4500da58ff76854f0e/Shitmas2014-2.jpg" data-mid="53422888" border="0" data-scale="49" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6867b9d110b6c8706b1bfbb424862ec6935d89907a854a4500da58ff76854f0e/Shitmas2014-2.jpg" /> April 7, 2016. A collaboration with Toronto artist Lia Lepre, this poster was an opportunity to explore a more tactile approach to poster design. Using a personalized office stamp set, I added text and typographic arrangements to give shape and context to abstract forms. <img width="1914" height="2936" width_o="1914" height_o="2936" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2fb4bac99ecc0f9447805b832f0879d6ca539820830200d5f056128927e4548f/TriageKickoff2.jpg" data-mid="53422892" border="0" data-scale="49" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2fb4bac99ecc0f9447805b832f0879d6ca539820830200d5f056128927e4548f/TriageKickoff2.jpg" /> November 21, 2014. Using the aesthetic and visual language of yellow page classifieds and flyers for discount products, I wanted to explore the idea that subculutre was just another cheap product for young consumers. The band names are used as the products being advertised and the ‘prices’ indicate the time slot that each band was set to play that night. <img width="1901" height="2905" width_o="1901" height_o="2905" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/24139cfa5cda8d8ce578c08bfbc2e184c7859b177a9dcb27ac1ecdd2d597d2d9/CHeapThrills2.jpg" data-mid="53422886" border="0" data-scale="49" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/24139cfa5cda8d8ce578c08bfbc2e184c7859b177a9dcb27ac1ecdd2d597d2d9/CHeapThrills2.jpg" /> November 16, 2013.

Taking place on the weekend of Canada Day and U.S. Independence Day, this gig brought together bands and attendees from both sides of the border. I wanted to suggest an idea of freedom and unity that exists outside of the nationalities and borders that divide us.
