Scientist in Residence Program: Website.

The Scientist in Residence Program’s mission is to excite, inspire and support elementary school children and teachers to discover the world through hands-on science. The program partners teachers with working scientists and together they create and deliver six or more hands-on science lessons on a specific theme. The collaboration results in lesson plans that are relevant, meaningful and customized for specific classrooms as well as supporting the critical thinking and confidence of children in grades K-7 as they engage in science activities and experiments in their classrooms and on field trips. Children are encouraged to question, explore, observe and discover as they use the process of science to learn about their world. The site is packed with resources for teachers including downloadable lesson plans for Life, Physical, Earth and Space Science modules.

Skunkworks partnered with the Scientist in Residence Program to redesign their brand and corporate identity (business-cards, letterhead, PowerPoint templates, labels, etc), and create a new WordPress-based website with a content management system and an easy-to-use interface for teachers and students. The new site also allows teachers, scientists and students to keep up-to-date with program news and opportunities. We are proud to have contributed to this inspiring Program.

Dominic Schaefer Photography: Website.

Dominic Schaefer is an outstanding photographer and long-time Skunkworks partner who has recently got a newly designed web portfolio to accomodate a few of his innumerable shots within galleries such as architecture, dance and infra-red.

LawStartBC: Website.

In order to help British Columbians access legal information and assistance through ClickLaw, HelpMap, LawMatters and Courthouse Libraries BC, Skunkworks developed LawStartBC, an umbrella brand that serves as a starting point for the legal community and the public in BC to access legal information. The brand has its own new website, which can be viewed here, as well as brochures and magnetic puzzles, as a few of the initial collateral pieces.

Westech Appraisal: Corporate Identity.

One of the Lower Mainland’s leading residential appraisal and consulting firms, WesTech Appraisal Services Ltd. is committed to the timely delivery of professional appraisal reports to major financial institutions, mortgage brokerages and mortgage lenders across the Lower Mainland. Skunkworks was contacted to redesign their brand and corporate identity, and the result is seen through business-cards, envelopes, brochures, banners, post-cards, and other pieces that tie together this newly and freshly created brand, which reflects the company's zest and professionalism.

Campbell Froh May & Rice LLP: Website.

Campbell Froh May & Rice LLP has been serving business and litigation clients in Richmond, BC and the Lower Mainland for over 30 years. The partners decided they wanted to refresh their corporate identity and update their website to reflect the broad range of legal services they offer. The firm contacted Skunkworks and the result can be viewed here. The site is built on JetPack, Skunkworks’ customized CMS for law firms, and adds full practice descriptions and bios for all the firm lawyers. The firm is growing and with the addition of a number of junior lawyers who are interested in the effective application of technology to their practices, they are now well positioned to develop the new site even further.

Harris & Brun: Website.

Skunkworks is pleased to announce that we have now completed and launched Harris & Brun’s new website. The new site, www.harrisbrun.com, also incorporates a blog that is presently being utilized as a vehicle to support Robert Brun QC’s candidacy for Vice President of the Canadian Bar Association and will later be transitioned to a firm-wide blog once the election winds up in March.

Robbie Sheffman: Website and Corporate Identity.

Robbie Sheffman recently contacted Skunkworks to help him launch his new solo immigration law practice in Victoria, BC. Starting with his logo we opted for a modern colour scheme and visual cues reminiscent of international visa documents. From there we designed a clean, straightforward website that would be user friendly for English speakers and ESL clients alike. The result is www.immigrationlawbc.com.

Harris & Brun: Corporate Identity.

This new logo and stationery package for Vancouver's Harris & Brun law firm is the next step in a bigger project encompassing Robert Brun's blog and a whole new company website coming live later this month.

BC Court of Appeal 100th Anniversary: Website.

2010 marks the British Columbia Court of Appeal's 100th anniversary. Skunkworks is honoured to have been selected to create a new logo, website and conference collateral in conjunction with the Court's 100th anniversary. The new BCCA100.ca website includes a photo gallery drawn from the Court's archives including portraits of every Chief Justice of British Columbia, the original ground-breaking of the old courthouse building (now the Vancouver Art Gallery), and significant historical events such as Lord Denning's visit for the opening of the current Vancouver Courts in 1979, and the first all-woman panel of the Court of Appeal.

Plans for the 2010 centennial include a one-hour documentary "Though the Heavens Fall: 100 Years of the BC Court of Appeal", a book by author Christopher Moore, and a judicial and academic conference in April 2010 featuring professor and legal futurist Richard Susskind and keynote speaker Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin P.C.
