David Ko is the in-house graphic designer for one of our favorite magazines, Color. The Emily Carr Institute grad is probably too modest to tell you that he also DJ’s and has done design work for skate companies, local rap artists, stores, tobacco companies, home decor places, and clothing brands. Here is David’s day to day life!


The Proof

1. There are a few people missing here – but these are the some of the creative and talented people I work with – having a laptop party!
2. Although computers are fun, I really like using sketchbooks to plan and draw out my ideas – but mostly for doodling nonsense.
3. Our beloved dog who lives with my parents in Alberta.
4. Vancouver is awesome from this view at my friend Tim Yargeau’s apartment balcony.
5. Some stuff that’s on my wall and a work table in my apartment.
6. My music junk – I try to experiment with audio stuff from time to time.
7. I like skating here sometimes, a good spot to soak in the sun rays and good times.
8. Bookstores and libraries are good places to visit when you want to research or get inspired, but Army & Navy is really where it’s at!
