Design Canada & Canada Modern Recognize the Contributions of Stuart Ash and G+A

Gottschalk+Ash and its co-founder Stuart Ash have been recognized recently in Design Canada, a documentary film by Greg Durrell that follows the transformation of Canada from its colonial ties to a vibrant and multicultural country, through the lens of graphic design. G+A’s work also helped inspire Blair Thomson to create Canada Modern, a physical and digital archive of modernist Canadian graphic design.

Stuart has been celebrated for bringing the International Style of design to Canada, and changing the focus of graphic design in this country to communication focused on strategy and function. Stuart acknowledges he is “proud of the consistency of the work we achieved as a team and pleased that the legacy continues in Canada under Entro. It is this passing along of the dedication to strategically conceived graphic design that I so greatly appreciate.”
