Canadian Designers today are have such unique styles and personality in the ways they communicate visually and I find it truly inspiring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Burton Kramer is a designer from Toronto who is a pioneer of Canadian Graphic Design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love this quote by him: \u201cIt always seemed clear that the real challenge for the designer was to help make our world a better place than it would be without our efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among Burton&#8217;s most notable work is the distinctive 1974 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation logo that you have probably seen before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.cbc.ca\/1.4066392.1541713557!\/fileImage\/httpImage\/cbc-logo-horizontal.jpg\" alt=\"CBC.ca - watch, listen, and discover with Canada's Public Broadcaster\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It minimal yet extremely memorable to anybody who sees it. Kramer paved the way for the \u2018International Style\u2019 to reach Canadian shores when he moved to Toronto in 1965.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>             Jiani Lu is nother designer from Toronto that is very active in the industry today. She specializes in a variety of different areas including packaging and branding. I find her urge to make an impact in the world with her designs really inspiring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI would be interested in re-designing school report-card templates. It would be a unique challenge in analyzing our current academic grading systems to uncover flaws and issues that can be improved. I\u2019m fascinated by the prospect of modernising grading metrics through design techniques.\u201d &#8211; Jiani Lu<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-es3yVhyQBs8\/YFICuSQrWrI\/AAAAAAABQ0o\/S-aMjM83PL4xc8GX_6Ajvsau2Ef5jhDUQCLcBGAsYHQ\/s16000\/2014%2BLoft%2Bidentity%2B2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption>2014 Loft Packaging<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-FyMhowy34ms\/YFICzsFpgzI\/AAAAAAABQ1Q\/woUQ1XQFlKoELS59MPIQKx35tAN3HHvXACLcBGAsYHQ\/s16000\/2015%2BMantoushe%2BPackaging%2B%2526%2BMenu%2B0.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption>2015<strong>\u00a0Mantoushe\u00a0<\/strong>Identity<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first joined Capu&#8217;s Idea program it was honestly just for my interest in visuals plus a decent wage.
