<p>Lucky people who will be receiving a subscription to <a href="http://www.zeste.tv/magazine" target="_blank">Zeste</a> (Quebec&#8217;s most delicious-looking food-related magazine) this holiday season will not only receive 4 or 8 issues of one of the best executed magazine in the province: they will also receive this beautiful gift certificate, designed by none other than us @ <a href="http://www.yellowcardesign.com" target="_blank">Yellow Car Design</a>. We were commissioned by the magazine to create a print-at-home certificate for people buying the subscription as a present to give to their loved ones to let them know that they were now subscribers to Zeste. The deadline for the project was very tight but thanks to the great pictures that were submitted to us we were quickly inspired and designed something that looks good in next to no time!</p>
<p>_____</p>
<p>Les chanceux(ses) qui recevront un abonnement à <a href="http://www.zeste.tv/magazine" target="_blank">Zeste</a> (certainement la publication culinaire québécoise la plus appétissante) en cette période des Fêtes ne recevront pas seulement 4 ou 8 numéros du magazine gourmand le plus haut de gamme de la province : ils recevront également ce joli certificat-cadeau, conçu par nul autre que nous, <a href="http://www.yellowcardesign.com" target="_blank">Yellow Car Design</a>. Nous avions reçu le mandat de créer un certificat pouvant être imprimé à la maison par les gens qui achètent l&#8217;abonnement en cadeau; ils peuvent ainsi donner le certificat à l&#8217;être cher(ère) pour lui dire qu&#8217;il ou elle est désormais abonné(e) à Zeste. Nous avions très peu de temps pour compléter le projet mais grâce aux excellentes photos qui nous ont été soumises nous avons été rapidement inspirés et sommes arrivés à un très bon résultat en un temps record!</p>

<p>How happy would you be to receive that nicely crafted box of presents? Very happy I&#8217;m sure! I took that photo for fun before sending it (for fun + for the fact that with the postal services you never know if a parcel is going to reach its destination&#8230; better have a proof that yes, we did bought presents for everyone!). Taking that picture made me realize how great baby blue and dark red go well together, and how it should officially replace green and red as the usual Christmas colours. Anyways, just a thought!</p>

<p><strong>Cadeaux de Noël</strong></p>
<p>Aimeriez-vous recevoir cette belle boîte pleine de cadeaux? J&#8217;imagine que oui, elle est tellement bien décorée (ahah!). J&#8217;ai pris cette photo pour le fun (et aussi pour avoir une preuve que oui, nous avons acheté des cadeaux à tout le monde! Après tout, avec la qualité du service postale, on ne sait jamais si un colis va arriver à destination ou non&#8230;). En tout cas, cette photo m&#8217;a fait réaliser que bleu ciel et rouge foncé vont vraiment bien ensemble et que ces couleurs devraient remplacer la combinaison habituelle du rouge et vert en tant que couleurs officielles de Noël. Bonne idée non?</p>

<p>We were told recently that my mum suffers from Multiple Sclerosis.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_637" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://yellowcardesign.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/pink.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-637" title=":)" src="http://yellowcardesign.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/pink-1024x784.jpg" alt=":)" width="500" height="382" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">:)</p></div>
<p>We were told recently that my mum suffers from Multiple Sclerosis. Yes, it&#8217;s horrible news and we would all wished for a small infection or something that could have been cured by a couple of antibiotic dose, but unfortunately it is not the case. However, even if MS is no fun at all, it still could have been a lot worse! So to cheer my mum up a little we sent her the present above, which consisted of the tackiest Christmas tree ornament ever (a little dog so ugly that it is actually cute!) and of a card, painted by myself, featuring the pink monstruosity. After doing some research on the illness, I found out that the best way for MS patients to find a treatment that can really help them is to keep a diary of their pains and symptoms, so that when they meet up with the neurologist they can exactly describe the pain, the occurence and intensity of it, etc. Based on the questionnaire that the MS Society of Canada provided, I designed an easy to update and simplified  journal (picture below) that I then printed and binded. By making it simple, pretty and personnalized to my mum&#8217;s tastes I am confident that it will be easier for her to commit to fill it in everyday..It should be, I think, a bit funnier  than, let&#8217;s say,  fill in any cold, impersonnal and complicated forms that the hospital might require. Now, I can&#8217;t wait to see how she&#8217;ll explain the &#8220;Chantelle Wonderbra&#8221; thing to her neurologist when she brings the journal in to discuss her treatments!!</p>

<p><strong>Cadeaux de &#8220;remontage de moral&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Nous avons appris récemment que ma mère est atteinte de Sclérose en Plaques. Oui, c&#8217;est une horrible nouvelle et nous aurions tous espéré qu&#8217;elle souffre d&#8217;une petite infection ou de quelque chose qui aurait pu être traîté avec une simple dose d&#8217;antibiotiques. Malheureusement ce n&#8217;est pas le cas&#8230; Mais bon, ça aurait pu être beaucoup pire! Pour remonter un peu le moral de ma mère nous lui avons envoyé une petite surprise: la décoration d&#8217;arbre de Noël ci-dessus (un petit chien tellement laid et <em>kétaine</em> qu&#8217;il en est beau!) et la carte, peinte par moi-même, mettant en vedette la monstruosité canine rose. Après des recherches sur la maladie, j&#8217;ai trouvé que le meilleur moyen que les gens atteints de la SP ont de trouver un remède qui leur convient consiste à tenir un journal de leurs douleurs et symptômes.  Ainsi , lors d&#8217;une rencontre avec leur neurologue, ils peuvent décrire les douleurs ressenties, leur fréquences, causes, etc. Je me suis inspirée du questionnaire fournie par la Société Canadienne de la SP pour créer un &#8220;Journal des douleurs&#8221; facile à remplir, que j&#8217;ai par la suite imprimé et relié. Simplifié et personnalisé au goût de ma mère, je suis certaine qu&#8217;il sera ainsi plus facile pour elle à mettre à jour quotidiennement. Plus facile et un peu moins pénible, disons, que les formulaires froids, impersonnels et compliqués exigés parfois par l&#8217;hôpital. Maintenant, j&#8217;ai bien hâte de voir comment elle expliquera le &#8220;Chantelle Wonderbra&#8221; à sa neurologue lorsqu&#8217;elle apportera le journal avec elle pour discuter des traitements!!</p>
