Case Study: Canadian Military History Book Cover Design

Client: Government of Canada, National Defence, Directorate of Honours and Recognition

Project Overview

In 2001, the Directorate of Honours and Recognition, dedicated to preserving Canadian Military History, commissioned Jeff Poissant of Evolving Media & Design Inc. to design a wrap-around book cover for Canadian Military History Since the 17th Century: Proceedings of the Canadian Military History Conference, Ottawa, May 5–9, 2000. Facing a tight deadline, Jeff collaborated closely with the client’s team to deliver a visually compelling design that honored Canada’s military legacy. Inspired by promotional materials, including posters and advertisements created for the Canadian Military History Conference at Ottawa University, the cover featured a rare military painting with the iconic maple leaf, provided by the Directorate, as its foundation.

This case study highlights the meticulous process behind this prestigious project, showcasing why Evolving Media & Design Inc. is the premier choice for high-quality media solutions.
