Tomorrow night!

Repost from our friends at @designcouncilsk — design movie night, anyone? 🎉 ___________ Big news! Design Week this year kicks off with a special FREE screening of Design Canada in both Saskatoon and Regina. Visit the link in our bio to find more info on our site. Through the lens of #graphicdesign , documentary Design Canada follows the transformation of a nation from a colonial outpost to a vibrant and multicultural society. What defines a national identity? Is it an anthem? A flag? Is it a logo or icon? How do these elements shape who we are? In the 1960s and 1970s, these questions were answered by an innovative group of Canadian designers, who used design to unify the nation. 🟣  November 17 @7 :00pm 🟣  Saskatoon: @remaimodern ’s SaskTel Theatre 🟣  Regina: @sasksciencecentre #SKdesignweek #canadiandesign #designcanada #canadiangraphicdesign #graphicdesigner #canadiandesigner #saskatoonevents #yxeevents #yxelocal #saskatooning #reginaevents #yqrevents #yqrlocal

Thanks for your patience during our brief Instagram hiatus, folks. You’ve all been busy creating some lovely design work, and we can’t wait to share some of what we’ve noticed! 👀 Meet you back here soon, pals. #wip #motiondesign #saskatoondesign #descan

MM09 — You know we had to do something a little different for this golden cover. ✨ #matchbookmonday #vintagematchbook #retrodesign #70sdesign

It’s a spring thing. 🌼 We’ve noticed some sunshine-infused posts from #Saskatoon creatives lately and wanted to share a few! Credits below: 1) @andrea___engele 2) @dangerdynamite 3) @sckuse 4) @althausyxe 5) @processorstudio #canadiandesign #descan #communitybydesign #saskdesign #graphicdesign

MM08 — It’s #matchbookmonday ! Today’s selection is from 1971, when #Saskatoon hosted the winter Canada Games. (We even built a man-made mountain for the occasion, now lovingly referred to as the Pimple of the Prairies.) Thanks to the @stoonlibrary we were able to collect photos of the logo and graphics in use — from signage to Saint Bernards. #designcanada #vintagedesign #canadiandesign #descan

A huge thanks to everyone who joined us for our first drink & draw of the year last week! It was so great to see you all — and if you couldn’t make it, we’ll catch you next time! 🖍️🖊️ #descan #communitybydesign #drinkanddraw #saskatoon #yxelocal

MM07 — It’s #matchbookmonday ! Today we’ve got a slightly more minimalistic selection: The Ambassador let a simple elevation of their restaurant speak for itself against a dramatic, black background. #canadiandesign #vintagematchbook #matchbookdesign #ephemera #saskatoon #yxe

The calendar says spring has sprung, friends! It’s high time we get together again, so join us for a drink & draw next week at @hkbrewco . We’ve got the supplies, all you need to do is draw whatever comes to mind! Eventbrite link is in our bio to save your spot amongst fellow doodlers & designers. See you there! 🖊️🖍️🎉 #saskatoon #yxe #yxelocal #communitybydesign #descan

MM06 — We’re back! After a quick vacation, #matchbookmonday returns with this starry beaut. #retroaesthetic #vintagedesign #vintagecanada #matchbookdesign #saskatoon #yxe
