Canuck Card-o-mator is a fun new Facebook app based with surreal Canadian greeting cards in unique graphic design style, originally created to celebrate Canada Day 2014. It was time beavers and bears got their deserved attention in graphic design!
The creator team wanted to create something that people can share in order to compliment their friends and cheer them up on this special day of the year, celebrating their legacy and togetherness. People can pick and share their favorite cards by email and social media to compliment on their friends or just cheer them up. Each e-card represents a different Canadian classic, from hockey to maple syrup. Some of the key visuals look like illustrations of a cheerful, surrealist fairy tale.
