Toronto, an international mecca for business, finance, arts, and culture, is recognized as one of the world's most multicultural and cosmopolitan cities. With more that 50 percent of residents belonging to a visible minority, and over 160 languages spoken, Toronto's diverse population reflects its role as a prime destination for new Canadians. Toronto's skyline, perched on the shores of Lake Ontario, featured in this design, is not only one of the most impressive in the world, but also one of the most architecturally diverse - with buildings spanning from the early 1800's up to the present, and yes an airport! Indigenous peoples, including the Huron-Wendat, the Haudenosaunee, and the Anishinaabe have travelled through and inhabited the Toronto area for more than 10,000 years. The Mowhawk named the area a'tkaronto', meaning "where there are trees standing in the water." Locales Design is the creation of Carolyn Graziani, a seasoned Graphic Designer, based in Toronto. Carolyn's professional life has included working in the media as the Art Director at Citytv, as well as Art Direction and Design in the Advertising and Publishing industries. Each original design offers Carolyn's playful take on a colourful neighbourhood locale.
