Graphic artist Steven Rosenberg go-to guy for Winnipeg theatre and arts communities

Steven Rosenberg

By MYRON LOVE While graphic designer Steven Rosenberg’s name may be unfamiliar to most readers, his work is not. Rosenberg is a partner in Doowah Design. Every time you see a brochure, a poster or online art promoting the Winnipeg Art Gallery, the Manitoba Theatre for Young People, the Winnipeg Jewish Theatre and a host of other arts bodies, you are most likely looking at Doowah’s creations.

Over a career spanning more than 45 years, he has become the go-to guy for the graphic arts needs of Winnipeg’s art and theatre community. Past work has included the Manitoba Theatre Centre, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and Prairie Theatre Exchange.
Rosenberg notes that there is only one graphic designer in Winnipeg who has been in the field longer than he has. In 2000, he was named a Fellow of the Graphic Designers of Canada (GDC) – one of just two designated Fellows in Manitoba – in recognition of his leadership role in the formation of the Manitoba Chapter of the GDC as well as in the national GDC organization.
The citation noted that “the number of awards that he received testify to the professional respect he has earned from his peers. Drawing from his experience of working with many non-profit and cultural institutions, he has written the rule book on working with pro-bono clients: the info sheet now included in our national binders. This is typical of Steven—he always establishes a solid methodology—even for projects that don’t pay”.
Although there are a few fortunate people who know from an early age what they “want to be” when they grow up, Rosenberg – like most of us – found his calling by a somewhat roundabout process that led to his seizing an opportunity.
“When I was growing up, I was the kid in the class who was always drawing things,” recalls the son of the late Morrie and Norma Rosenberg. “I have found though that learning to write precis (short summaries) in high school has turned out to be really useful in my work,” he notes.

When Rosenberg started university (at the University of Manitoba), it made sense to him, he recalls, to enroll in Fine Arts. But it was not what he expected. He realized that he was more interested in design.
After a year in Fine Arts, the future graphic designer switched to the regular Arts program. After university, he took some time for the de riguer – for recent university graduates of that era – tour of Europe. When he got back, he landed a job with a Federal Government-funded Opportunities for Youth program – working on a monthly titled Inland Magazine.
“I learned graphic design on the job during my two years working for the magazine,” he says.

The next stage in his career was with Credo Group which, he explains, was a community resource as well as creative development organization. “We produced animation, live films – and print materials on the side,” he recalls. “When Credo decided to drop its print operations, I took on those clients.”
For ten years after he parted company with Credo, he worked on his own. In 1989, he partnered with Terry Gallagher in founding Doowah Design Inc.
Early on, Rosenberg and Doowah Design’s services were much in demand for the National Film Board and Cinematheque. “Over a period of 10 to 15 years, we helped develop proposals for projects, created fact sheets and became involved in marketing,” he notes. “We worked with filmmakers such as Norma Bailey and Dave Barber (the guiding hand behind Cinematheque and godfather of our community’s filmmakers who passed away a few months ago).”
Over the years, he notes, Doowah Design’s client base has grown. “We focus mainly on the arts and non-profit organizations,” Rosenberg points out. Among the latter are Assiniboine Park and the Zoo and Rossbrook House, an inner city drop-in centre for youth – founded in 1976 by the Sisters of Sion – which provides a safe space for children and teens to congregate and learn.
“We also work with small publishers and musicians designing CDs, book covers, posters and occasionally promotion materials for concerts,” he adds.
One of his more unusual contracts was working with a church to market a columbarium (which is a repository for the ashes of cremated individuals).

One of Rosenberg’s highest profile assignments in recent years – in partnership with Terry Gallagher – was his central involvement in the development of Quamajuq, the Winnipeg Art Gallery’s all-new, standalone Inuit art gallery, home of the largest public collection of contemporary Inuit art in the world. “One of our challenges was developing strategies to help the public understand what the gallery is about,” he says. “That included educating people as to how to pronounce the name (KOW-ma-yourk).
“Generally, we work with clients with limited funds for promoting themselves,” Rosenberg points out. “We work to understand our clients’ needs and the messages they want to put out to the public and devise strategies to deliver those messages as truthfully as possible.”
Doowah Design, Rosenberg notes, consists of himself and Gallagher and designer and illustrator Prascilla Castro. Now in his early 70s, Rosenberg reports that his role in the company has changed in recent years.
“I am doing less actual design and more strategizing and research,” he says.
In his free time, he notes, he and his wife Susan regularly exercise (at home) and enjoy watching old movies, documentaries and British police shows.

The Types Of Gaming That Are Popular Across North America

“Gaming setup”

Gaming in North America covers almost every style imaginable. Consoles remain a huge part of the culture that changes all the time. Older gaming hobbies like board games still fill living rooms and hobby stores. 

People can always find a way to play that suits their interests and preferences. That could be online or offline.

That variety is part of what makes the region so interesting from a gaming point of view. There is no single dominant style. A lot of people prefer quick mobile games that they can play on the go. There are also superfans that sink hundreds of hours into console adventures. It isn’t all about high tech; plenty still enjoy games that have been around for generations.

The common theme is choice. North American players now have more ways to play than ever before.

Classic Casino Games Have Found New Life Online

Casino games have been popular across North America for a long time. The way they are played has changed dramatically in recent decades and brought them to new audiences.

Traditional games such as blackjack and roulette are still easy to recognize. The rules remain familiar to a lot of the population. The technology surrounding them has moved forward at a breakneck speed.

Roulette shows this change. The experience once meant gathering around a physical wheel and watching the ball bounce between the numbered pockets. That same basic format now works online in several different ways.

Digital roulette recreates the wheel through software. Live dealer versions stream a real wheel from a studio using high-definition cameras. Players can follow the action on a laptop or smartphone without losing the simple appeal that made roulette popular in the first place. People who want to play roulette varieties online even have a lot of choice for how they do so. 

Slot games have changed even more.

Modern online versions can include detailed animations and new mechanics that would be difficult to reproduce on an old mechanical machine. Newer styles such as crash games have also grown alongside more traditional casino titles.

Casino gaming has essentially become another branch of digital entertainment. People have so much choice that they may turn to ‘games of the week’ as recommendations for a new game to try out.

Board Games Are Still Going Strong

Board games remain extremely popular across North America. There are even festivals in the area celebrating the choice in board games.

Part of their appeal is social.

A board game creates a reason for people to gather around the same table for competition. They usually debate at least one rule before the night is over!

Classic games still have huge audiences. Chess and Monopoly are instantly familiar. The modern board game scene has become much broader.

Games such as Ticket to Ride and Wingspan helped introduce more people to strategy-heavy tabletop games without making them feel impossible to learn.

Hobby gaming has also become a culture of its own.

Dedicated stores host game nights and board game cafes have turned tabletop gaming into an evening out rather than something that only happens at home.

In an age of screens, cardboard is doing surprisingly well.

Console Gaming Remains A Giant

Console gaming is still one of the biggest parts of North American entertainment.

Living-room consoles have become far more than machines for playing one game at a time. They now act as entertainment hubs for multiplayer gaming and detailed worlds.

Sports games remain popular. Action games and open-world adventure games also draw huge numbers of players.

The appeal is easy to understand.

Console gaming offers impressive graphics and deep experiences without requiring the same level of setup that can come with a gaming PC.

Controllers have evolved too. They have added better feedback and more precise inputs. Online multiplayer has become standard and easier for most players. 

PC Gaming Has Its Own Massive Audience

PC gaming occupies a slightly different space. It tends to attract players who like flexibility.

Hardware can be upgraded over time. Digital stores offer enormous libraries ranging from blockbuster releases to tiny experimental projects made by one person.

Strategy games and simulation titles have especially strong roots on PC.

MMORPGs also remain closely linked to the platform. Large communities spend years inside these imagined online worlds.

Competitive gaming has helped keep PC gaming at the center of esports too.

Genres such as tactical shooters and real-time strategy games continue to attract players who enjoy fast competition and highly skill-based play.

Social And Multiplayer Games Keep Growing

You might assume that the online world is isolating gamers. But it is actually fair to say that gaming has become much more social over the last decade in many ways.

People increasingly play with friends who may live hundreds or even thousands of miles away. Cross-platform technology has helped with being able to connect players reliably.

A group no longer always needs identical hardware to play the same title together. Console and PC communities can sometimes mix. Voice chat keeps everyone connected during a session.

The conversation happening during the game becomes just as important as the game itself.

There is no single type of gaming that defines North America. A serious mix is probably the clearest trend of all.

Gaming has stopped being tied to one device or even one kind of player. It now covers everything from a quick game on a smartphone to an all-night board game session or a huge online adventure with friends.
