Seeing Canada being displayed to the outside world while living outside of Canada for me at the moment is slightly strange. Up until the Olympic began in Vancouver started last week there was minimal mention of anything Canadian in my peripheral view. Now it is everywhere. Slightly self conscious I’m always hoping that things are presented in a respectful light, mostly hoping that Canadians on display aren’t doing anything too embarrassing, and for the most part that has been the case. Design from Canada is also on display in a way that hasn’t seen this type of attention before. Once the Olympics are over I’ll do a post about the about it over on Design Notes. Over at MoCo Loco they’ve interviewed Canadian designer Katherine Morley. While I wasn’t familiar with her work before the interview I thought it was nice contrast to the green and blue being displayed in Vancouver.
