Cole Peters

I am an obsessively inquisitive designer based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in love with crafting visual and written works for print, the web, interfaces and environments.

Design

In March of 2012, I became a partner and designer at Burdocks — a collaborative design studio formed by Robyn Shesterniak and myself. Together, we produce graphic, web and interaction design with the goal of crafting resonant experiences on both a local and global scale. I couldn't be more excited.

Since early 2010, I have also been operating Four Six — a freelance design practice established for the purpose of crafting personal and sideline projects.

Writing

“This is a blog by Cole Peters” is an ongoing collection of my writing, primarily on the subject of (guess what?) design.

I consider my work in design and writing to be inextricably related — both are the result of a desire to organize and communicate ideas and information. The following articles are a couple of my personal favourites:

“All the Way to the Bone” — on the purpose and importance of the practice of design.

“On Minimalism” — considering minimalism as both philosophical and stylistic anchor.

Sound

I have been producing recorded audio works since the mid 00's, with the primary focus since 2007 being based in the areas of drone, noise and experimental/electro-acoustic music.

I also keep active in the local music scene as co-founder and art director at Prairie Fire Tapes.
