P.C.V.S.
Owen Macklin from P.C.V.S.’s Integrated Arts program went
for a minimalist design with a huge pop of color.
Inspired by sketches from his notebook, he set out to create
the sort of hat he himself (as a confessed ‘hat lover’) would rock on a daily
basis!
Owen plans on continuing his education in the arts after
high school with a post-secondary education

ADAM SCOTT
Julie Campbell’s inspiration was to create a sense of unity,
drawing ideas from artist Keith Haring’s linked arms silhouettes and even using
the colors of every
While her design appears minimalist, it is clear from her
color story and detailed approach that she is truly “Building A New Era”

CRESTWOOD
John & A.J. literally took inspiration from their roots
to create their cap. Both are Millbrook boys and wanted to show that you can
take the boy out of the forest but not the forest out of the boy!
A.J. is a graffiti artist and they used his original ‘yeti’
stencil to incorporate the woodsy element in their hat, then they brought it
all together with a Flavour “F” on the front tag.
They wanted their hat to stand out from the rest, but appeal
to everyone, and show that “Crestwood has an awesome art department, we’re not
just jocks”.

T.A.S.
Becsy Lapp is a grade 9
student with a passion for urban art – her main inspiration came from the
different styles of graffiti seen around our city.
She used a clean styling and
cityscape sketches paying homage to the Flavour building’s heritage – owned by
David & Liz Bierk until 2009, the second floor was internationally renowned
“virtuoso post-modernist” artist David Bierk’s studio and gallery, the first
floor his workshop.

Creature Feature: Nixon's "TPS" Mobile Speaker
Nixon's TPS mobile speaker - a running favorite of Flavour employees since it's release - has been awarded by the design community a "red dot" for Excellence in Product Design, an internationally recognized seal of approval on products distinguished by innovative and creative design.
To fulfill your daily requirement of nerd-speak see below - what the rest of you need to know is that this compact, mega-durable little buddy holds 6 hours of playtime, a multiple speaker party line and more decibels than you'd expect to find in it's modern little frame.
We take ours to the beach (it's even sand-resistant), the basketball court and front porch parties all year long. Get yours in three colors at Flavour today!
ENCINITAS, CA - With its high quality design, compact styling and robust sound, Nixon’s “TPS” mobile speaker has inspired the experts. Recently recognized by an elite design jury, The TPS was awarded the globally sought-after “red dot design award” for its thoughtful design language in the entertainment technology category.
Since 1955, the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen has been awarding its famous red dot for excellence in international product design. red dot is regarded as a globally recognized quality label for excellence in design and business.
The TPS is a USB rechargeable compact travel speaker built to withstand the rigors of life on the road. Compact, modern, powerful and expandable The TPS packs a punch with maximum decibels in minimal space. Featuring a simple extruded aluminum body with sand resistant grill, 3.5mm audio input, and 6-hour playtime The TPS works with all media players and notebook computers. An integrated daisy chain allows users to connect multiple speakers together to take the party to the next level.
The idea of what later came to be known as The TPS was first inspired by a roundtable meeting held in Tavarua, Fiji in 2009 with Nixon pro-athletes and team riders Bruce Irons, Tony Hawk and others. The TPS is the result of a collaborative working relationship with Nixon’s team of world-class athletes and further illustrates Nixon’s approach to products that are “Team-Designed, Custom-Built”.
The TPS will be displayed along the more than 1,500 winning products featured at Germany’s red dot design museum. The red dot design museum accommodates the world’s largest permanent exhibition of contemporary design. Beginning this summer from July 3-29, 2012, the red dot design museum will hold its annual exhibition of the award-winning products.
