Chris Meecham - Whimsical graphic design

Chris Meecham is a Scottish graphic designer who lives in Montreal, Canada. I caught up with him in July to take his portrait and learn more about his work.

When did you develop your interest in graphic design?

My parents always pushed me into graphic design because I used to draw a lot when I was a kid. But I resisted for a long time. I finally got serious when I designed the cover for a CD for a band and discovered I actually liked doing it.

What's the project you've done that you're happiest with?

I designed the posters and tickets for the theater production of The Breakfast Club directed by Karen Firth in Montreal.

What other fields of visual arts do you work in?

Photography and drawing

Is there a style of graphic design you particularly admire?

Bauhaus

What are you working on at the moment?

I'm experimenting with whimsical posters of common objects like cheese, beer and eggs.

What social media do you use to promote your work?

Facebook. I'm also planning to set up an Etsy store.
