BC Housing – Live Green Calendar

Tuesday, 13 of May, 2008

Challenge: The British Columbia Housing Management Commission (BC Housing) was created in 1967 to fulfill the government’s commitment to the development, management and administration of subsidized housing. They were struggling to coordinate graphic design and photography services for their environmentally-friendly Live Green 2008 corporate calendar.

Solution: Ballistic Arts designed a calendar that follows BC Housing’s Live Green environmental campaign by integrating shades of green with images of leaves and stems. We also conducted photo shoots to match each calendar month’s specific scenario. Through Ballistic Arts’ full media design services, we were able to logistically solve BC Housing’s project coordination problem with a one-stop shop answer for the design, photography, and printing of their corporate calendar (it was 100% FSC & PCW paper for you dark green thumbs out there).
