Hello, my name is Maurice Norman. I am a graphic designer. I have always had a passion for design and had worked hard to learn and sharpen my skills in many catagories from print to web.
After graduating graphic design at CNA in St. John's, Newfoundland I started work with Bluedrop Performance Learning. There I worked as a media developer creating art assets and interactive animations for various contracts. From there I moved to Ontario and became the head designer at Studica Limited. I was responsible for designing all of their marketing materials from catalogs to magazine ads and newsletters.
Moving on from Studica I decided to go into new territory and began working in web design and web development. I have focused primarily on front-end development and enjoy working on developing solutions to an increasing digital landscape. I will continue to learn new languages and techniques that will better me as a designer.
I have worked to develop responsive websites that are compatible to devices of every shape and design as it is important in an ever changing digital ecosystem.
I have spent many years as a graphic designer honing my skills, working with teams developing e-learning applications as well as generating print and web advertising for online retailers.
Cultivating a fondness of photography over the years, I try to expand my experience by incorporating my hobby into my work whenever feasible.
Here is a collection of my favorite designs ranging from web design, print design, logo design, and photography.
This website was designed to work as a portal to Basketball Newfoundland's various basketball clubs across the province. It was important to clearly communicate information about each affiliate to help grow the sport in many communities.
Validity Systems works with organizations in oil and gas, construction, and various other industrial sectors to provide the latest in software solutions and intrinsically safe devices. I worked closely with them in order to develop a clean and responsive multi-page website design that was modern and easy to navigate.
One of my biggest responsibilities while working at Studica was to develop a bi-annual company catalog for three countries. It was essential to clearly layout the catalog in order to make it intuitive to follow.
I've been working with St. Anthony Basketball in order to develop various St. John's Edge Facebook promotional ads. We felt it was important to deliver the information simply but also energetically.
I based this business card design on the graphic in the company's logo. I chose to incorporate the logo's colours in order to represent the ocean and the land.
I volunteered to design this logo for my home town's upcoming celebration next year. I wanted to instill a warm sense of family and community as well as make newcomers also feel welcome.
Basketball Newfoundland Development Inc. is an organization that is actively creating basketball clubs for children around the province of Newfoundland. Merging the flag with a basketball felt like a simple and effective way to get that point across.
I snapped this photo as the sun began to set behind the steep hills in Mount Arlington Heights.
I worked on many photo restoration projects over the years, but this one of my grandparents will always be my favorite.
I was asked to be the wedding photographer for very close friends of mine. I was my first time undertaking that responsibility but they were very pleased with the results.
Please feel free to contact me and we can discuss what I can do for you.
