Edie’s passion is maps, specifically how they can not only relay spatial information but also temporal changes. We illustrated this concept by showing the evolution of a map over time: from hand-drawn parchment to the utilitarian simplicity of GoogleMaps to the precision of a three dimensional architectual rendering. Edie’s incredible book “Cartographica Extraordinaire” served as a basis for the iconography used in making the early maps.  This is one of series of four 30 second TV spots extolling the virtues of NSCC (Nova Scotia Community College). The brief was short and to the point: Tell the stories of 4 successful NSCC students in their own words and animate the results. We were given complete freedom to develop the styles and content of each of the spots, something that rarely happens in advertising.
