Everything Transat!!

For 7 years, I worked as an internal Graphic Designer for Transat Tours Canada. The 4 designers in Vancouver were responsible for all the design needs, both internal and external, from BC to Manitoba. We were also responsible for most subsidiaries of the company (and there are a lot of them!). Every day we had anywhere from 10 to 50 advertising flyers that needed to be emailed/faxed out to our clients. Every week we had newspaper ads that needed to go out to just about every newspaper across the country (up to Manitoba of course). Add to that the magazine ads, promotions, and anything else you can think of that a big company needs, and you can see how busy we were! Never a dull moment working there, that's for sure!

Here are just a few samples of some of the projects I worked on while employed with Transat A.T....

A customizable folder and insert set I designed for our internal sales and groups departments to hand out to potential customers. This set included two different folder designs, info sheets for each different travel destination, excursions, airline and flights, and over 100 4-page hotel sheets which had addition info about each hotel not listed in the main brochure that is geared towards groups. This project included coordinating with the different departments on what their needs were, gathering printing quotes, collecting the additional info from the different hotels and destinations (along with any extra photos they may have of their resorts and surrounding area), producing and proofing all the information, and updating the info as required.

Various brochure I worked on while employed with the company

A small sample of the inside of a desktop calendar I designed. Each year we created and had printed a new calendar
to send out to repeat clients and for all internal employees

Other items I designed for the company. Includes a training manual with corresponding info CD I programmed using the program Adobe Flash, invites to company events, notepads, bags, and other advertising needs
