Built around this commemorative coin celebrating the 50th anniversary of the CN Tower, we developed an animation concept deployed across two murals, shaped in part from original archival photographs. One of the project’s key challenges was also to visually convey the glow-in-the-dark quality of the coin’s coloured version, a distinctive feature that gives it surprise, materiality, and impact.
Through an extensive process of composition, collage, and animation, we transformed these historical images into contemporary graphic tableaux, creating a dialogue between memory, architectural achievement, and the collective imagination.
The result moves between documentation and celebration, bringing forward an iconography that feels alive, dynamic, and deeply rooted in the history of the site.
