It Is Time To Meet The Canvas Corp Brands Crew

We might do things a bit differently at Canvas Corp Brands, but we kinda like it that way.  We love to think outside of the box when we create products, when we design new lines, when we put a trade show booth together and most certainly how we put together our Design Team, the Canvas Corp Brands Creative Crew (CCBCrew or “The Crew”).  

While some brands strive to find designers that are very similar in style and know just how to design and work with their products and others choose a small eclectic group, we went way outside of the box and decided a community of designers was just what we needed.  With 3 amazing brands 7Gypsies, Tattered Angels and Canvas Corp we knew that with so many products to design with, so many techniques yet to discover and so many different design styles that we needed a different approach.  The CCBCrew is made up of over 100 designers that span the globe.  

Our crew represents 27 different countries and just about every state in the USA.  We love that so many design styles and points of view are represented among the crew.  We emphasis that we want each member to represent themselves, their style and follow what inspires each one of them.

To see that first hand we asked each crew member to create a mini canvas that represents them as a designer.  There were no rules other than they needed to keep it small creating on a 4″x4″ Canvas Corp Stretched Canvas.  Here is a showcase of the Canvas Corp Brands Creative Crew 4×4’s.  You can also view them all online with a link to each designer’s blog or social media site, get to know the designers through their art.

The CCBCrew is a community where you can get involved in many different ways including contributing projects for our blog, reviewing new products, submitting projects for Crew challenges, teaching, testing products, writing, creating videos, visiting shops local and during their travels to be our eye and ears in the market and helping us to see the creative world and markets better.  We have a private Facebook page that is filled daily with inspiration, ideas, projects, words of wisdom, questions, great answers and positive reinforcement to keep doing what we all do.

The crew contributes amazing projects that we show off at our trade shows that we attend around the country.  With 3 brands and 3 distinct styles, so the diversity of the crew makes it possible for us to talk so many different creative languages.

One of our Crew, Marie Johansson, suggested we create a public Facebook page that is open to all where ideas can be shared, questions can be asked, techniques can be taught, information can be gathered and inspiration can grow.  The new Facebook Group will be called Canvas Corp Brands Collective.
