Event Flier ? - Historic Strikers

The CanIRON team is putting together a simple 4 x 9 inch 'rack card' styled handout to help remind people about CanIRON 8 and get them the basic facts about the event. Working with our graphic designer, Barbara Pearn of ColourPix, four (very fast - very rough!!) concepts are being considered. Note that the specific image shown here may not be the one chosen, its more just to express the idea.
Second thing is that the logo seen on these is NOT the final version which Barb is also designing for us!


Number 4 - the Stikers:
What this image does is echo the slogan 'Forging Friendships', as well as reflecting the historic nature of the blacksmith's occupation.

This version : the DEMONSTRATORS
The work seen here is Jake Powning, Brian Russell & Paul Allen. The intent is to pick a number of dramatic images showing work from our demonstrators, which also will convey the range of work being presented at CanIRON 8

Number 2 - a Dramatic Closeup of Work
For the rough, the work seen is some of Brian Russell's. The heavily forged and textured elements suggest the detail and complexity possible with hand work.

This is the first one : Dramatic Forge Weld
Hey - you gotta love a forge weld! One thing for sure however, you all reading this are blacksmiths yourselves, so there can't be any phony / staged 'oil on the anvil' crap.
