It also includes an essay written by David Wild.

For Teemi Baby, I designed packaging and packaging labels, illustrated various products including bibs, bamboo sponges, suction plates, placemats, cup & straw cleaners, bowl fork and spoon sets. Illustrated various elements including happy faced fruits, playful stripes, veggies, plants. I also designed and illustrated various seamless patterns for products such as handbags.

Wanderlust Wishing Well is my second full length solo album which is on vinyl and CD. Shown here is the vinyl edition with printed inner sleeve and a translucent two tone blue vinyl. I designed and
illustrated the artwork except the painting of me I commissioned Antonella Sigismondi to create. I worked with a few photographers as well to accomplish the images of me underwater, with wolves, a fox, a skunk, and my dog. For the limited edition, I designed wishing coins as shown. 

 Nuts Rock! branding and packaging design that I created. 

This is the debut album of The McBroom Sisters entitled Black Floyd (2020) to honor the roots of Rock and Roll. I was asked to create an illustration from a photograph of them initially based on a particular style they admired. I then realized they needed help to design the rest of the artwork as they only had an unfinished concept created so far.
I took the original cover concept and made some slight revisions to its colour and cleaned it up then flowed the idea throughout. The McBroom Sisters are Durga McBroom and Lorelei McBroom, former
backing vocalists for the legendary Pink Floyd and many others. On this album they sing both lead and backing vocals on a combination of classic Pink Floyd covers and their own original songs.

DVD special edition box designs that I created for Scooby Doo, Looney Tunes and Hanna Barbara. 

I designed this album art, creating a visual fantasy world which depicts the story told within the song lyrics. The band is Alpha Lighting System, a young Mexico City based progressive rock trio. The album
is entitled, Walking On An Earlthlike Planet. It was great fun to work on interpreting the music and my clients were more than pleased. 

This is Dave Kerzner's New World release which came in various formats. I designed the album artwork and booklets for the standard and deluxe editions, the bonus disk of outtakes and the booklet for the box set. Each page features digital artwork tailored to the individual songs. I also created several music videos based on these visual interpretations for promotion and live concert projections.

The first track, Stranded which I created a lyric video for and co-directed and edited the official video was nominated for Best Rock Anthem by Prog Magazine's Progressive Music Awards in England and also received a Hamilton Music Award nomination for Best Album Art in Canada.

Carlin - Cabana is a 2015 single release that I designed for a Canadian hiphop/RnB artist.

I designed the album art for my 2012 debut independent solo album release entitled, Tapping Trees In A Trinket Box Of Treasure. Also shown is the limited edition series I created featuring hand sewn sleeve with bunting flag detailing and acrylic on balsa wood artwork. 

The artwork collectively tells a story that goes like this: On the cover, I am curtsying and the back cover is who and what I am curtsying to. There are buds growing from roses that are breaking off from the ground and floating upwards into the sky to outer space. I perform that evening to the creature guests who are present including zebras, bongos, nyalas, kudu, quetzal, fireflies and my pups. As I perform from
within the wagon on a tiny stage that earlier you can see off in the distance, the song travels through space along with the floating flowers and trees. The disk is a slice of tree, showing one that time does play history, the present and future through music.

This album won a Hamilton Music Award for Best Album Art and the music received two nominations from the Independent Music Awards for Most Eclectic Song and Hamilton Music Awards for Best Adult Alternative. 

My Heart Has Been Broken By One Unfit To Name is a single two track lathe cut release for music I was commissioned to create for a Lynchian inspired indie film made in the UK. The screenwriter wrote the lyrics for me to adapt to music. To document the music, I released this single independently on a very limited edition lathe cut and designed the artwork as shown. The song is melancholic and so I wanted to create visuals that would compliment the dramatic tragic
heartbreak depicted.

Yitka is a Czech born and raised folk music artist now residing in Canada. I designed and illustrated and photo edited the artwork for Yitka - Diplomatic Dream, a 2011 independent Canadian album release.
Her son photographed her in an abandoned home and I pulled the wall paper from the background and carried it throughout the design theme and colour palette. I also edited her dress which was originally
tie dye that competed too much with the composition and patterns surrounding her.

In 2007, Mark Wirtz asked me to design an album cover for Me by Zion De Gallier which he produced during the 1960s when he was an EMI/Abbey Road Studios producer and composer. This psychedelic pop song had never been properly released however Mark expressed an interest to release the single on vinyl 45.

The Double Feature Creatures was a girl band that I formed when I graduated Graphic Design and completed post-grad studies in 3D Animation as well as Interactive Multimedia. Years after the band
recorded and broke up, I released this archive of our music in 2005 entitled, ‘Return!’ on Teen Sound Records in Italy. I designed and illustrated the album artwork. You may listen to the album here where it is also available for purchase: thedoublefeaturecreatures.bandcamp.com

In 2002, I designed the album art for this three CD set of classical Indian music from Texas: Sri Ramakrishna Sarada Bhajan Mandali. I was provided the illustrations of the people/gods and from there I incorporated fabrics and kept the colour palettes to match the provided artwork.

While Senior Interactive Designer at Corus in 2009/2010,
I designed the Nickelodeon Canada website. I worked
with basic wireframes, the On Air department provided
a few station identification shorts for reference.
From there, I pulled elements together and added my
own flare which resulted in a very playful and highly
successful website that received a great review at the
end of the fiscal year and was live for 7 years.

DUSK was a thriller and suspense television station
under the Corus Entertainment umbrella that replaced
the horror channel, Scream TV. This was my first project
when Corus contracted me in 2009-2010. My role was to
design the entire website from wireframes and very little
branding to work with. For the first time at Corus, On Air
used design elements from the Interactive department
which I created for the site. It was a proud moment for
the team and the site received a great review at the end
of the fiscal. In 2012, DUSK was discontinued so that
Corus could make room for ABC Spark.

“Christine enthusiastically took on the design of a new
specialty channel website that had a still-vague brand
identity and no graphic assets for her to work with.
Despite these challenges she did a fantastic job
translating the “look and feel” of this undefined brand
into a solid and stylish website (www.DUSKtv.ca).” 
- Karen Wilkinson, Interactive Producer, Corus Entertainment, 2010

Another fun website that I designed while on contract
at Corus. This was through Treehouse TV and my task
was to design an online party package site where one
could choose from a party theme or customize their own
and print out the whole party package. I designed how
the site would navigate and function and worked with
an illustrator who developed the characters within the
various party themes. 

While at BMO as a Senior Web Designer, I designed
the bilingual pages for this Investorline youth web
campaign meant to target 25-35 year olds. I created
the photo manipulated images and the game layout
as well as the overall layout with icon designs. Also
shown are the alternate concepts I had created during
the development.

I designed the bilingual online presence for
the Buenos Aires National Sales Conference
for BMO Insurance.

Here are a couple of ecard samples that

Here is another example of one of many monthly
‘spike’ pages that I created for the YTV website.
Corus wanted an April Fools and Easter combined
theme. With provided copy, I designed the theme
to blend with the YTV brand.

This was a lovely yoga garment online catalog
that I created in Flash back in 2009. Each page
swept over a large colourful background that
created beautiful fluid continuity from page to page. 

A banner design that I created for the Babar
website via Treehouse TV which was a new
Corus site in 2010. I loved Babar when I was
a little girl so it was sweet to create this one.
I created the edges based on Babar's chair
and chose the imager for the ad.

Experts Search 2010 was a show featured on
W Network. While on contract at Corus
Entertainment in 2009-2010, my design was
pitched along with concepts by the rest of
the full-time Interactive team. The stakeholders
and executives chose my concept and so
I designed the entire site. I only had the show
title and photographs of the people shown
to work with where I then created a military
and girl guide inspired theme throughout.
At the end of the fiscal year, this along with
DUSK and Nick were three of the four web
projects celebrated by the team. It was a
proud moment for me, especially being a contractor.

This is an E Newsletter design that I created
for Clear Medicine at the time of its inception.
I also designed the Clear Medicine logo as well
as some business and sales collateral pieces
for Dr. Natasha Turner who has since written
best selling books and made several
appearances on Dr. Oz. 

This was one of my early website designs
that I created in 2002 for a jazz venue in
Toronto which was inspired by 1950s and
60s design. It's one of my favourite styles
to play with when clients will let me. 

This was the first website that I ever created
which launched in 2001. This was one of many
Flash based sites that I created and art directed
as well. Fiona loved my concept for the site that
I pitched and so I got her to create drawings
which she did in black ink to accommodate
the sections to her site that I coloured in and
animated. This was a very successful site which
won a couple web awards at the time, as well
I was asked to do a Flash In TO presentation,
a highly respected speakers series for new
media in Toronto. The site led Fiona to becoming
the first Canadian artist to do an art residency in
Taipei, Taiwan and be part of a group art show
in Venice where she exhibited a massive outdoor
piece beside Yoko Ono's work which was also
featured in the show.
