About

Hello there. I’m Jeremy Elder. I’m an advertising copywriter in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I’m also an art geek and motion design junkie. shape+colour is beauty, art, words, movement, epic radness, and random awesomeness; it’s what I think about stuff I love and my way of sharing it with anyone else who might find it. It’s less like a broadcast, and more like a message in a bottle. Less like a proclamation, and more like a note tied to a helium balloon that says “if you find this, let me know.”

To me, the ultimate purpose of art is to let people know that they are not alone.

If you like me then I’d probably like you too. If you’re into what you see here, or think that we would get a long famously or could create something beautiful, email me anytime: shapeandcolour(at)gmail(dot)com or tweet me @shapeandcolour.

Other stuff I like includes: crayons, goldfish, wineglasses, mint, freshly mown grass, sunsets in other places, airplane food, Benadryl, Tori Amos, acrylic furniture, Helvetica, cupcakes, vodka, Pantone, Lite Brite, the sound of rain on mornings when you can sleep in, Tintin, pixels, that fresh from the dentist feeling, CMYK, noodles, balloons, high thread counts, Adidas Adicolor, trees, Scandinavia, cereal, Douglas Coupland, Super Mario 3, grey wool, tee shirts, little plastic castles, Skittles, rainforest showerheads, Astro Boy, fighting to have matching cover art for every track in my iTunes, piñatas, lucite, the periodic table, and your mom.
