Yesterday, inBloom Events + Design worked on a delightful project designing the stage for the Women in Film and Television Toronto's Crystal Awards which are basically the 'Oscars for Women' in Canada! I was lucky enough to stay for the awards ceremony and was really proud to see what all these amazing ladies have accomplished. Their speeches were so inspiring it left me feeling like I could do anything I set my mind to. What a feel-good atmosphere it was!
Our task was to create a stage that was modern, feminine and sexy based on WIFT-T's already existing logo. Check out the results!
This was the Crystal Award logo we based our design on
The amazingly talented and hilarious Catherine O'Hara!
Did you watch the American Music Awards last night? The Jay-Z / Alicia Keys performance was stellar. Not only did I lerve the music, but I also greatly lerved the stage design. It's rare for a Bloomer to enjoy a stage design - usually they are overdone and a bit flashy with primary colours and chunky curtain type of things. There were three things I liked about it: the words on the screens reminded me of Joelle Bloomer's funky painting in her bedroom. I liked it when the lighting turned to the more muted beige colours, and I loved the orchestra of only pianos. How awesome to have 5 pianists jamming together. It combined three things that the Bloomers love the most - typography, beige and pianos! But you should also really check out the perfomance here - Alicia and Jay-Z never disappoint.
