Knitting masks by artist Tracy Widdess

Vanessa Pepin is an art director and webdesigner working for the Quebec agency Deuxhuithuit. I discovered her works on Behance and her interactive design works are very impressive. They combine legibility, typographic precision and graphic identity with a clever use of recent HTML/CSS technologies.
An interesting example is her work for Le Clou theatre, which is outstanding on several point of vues : a very legible and user friendly layout, a nice use of responsive design techniques, and an interesting organization of content, especially on spectacles pages.

Studio Dialog, a canadian studio specialized into motion graphics

Studio Dialog is a studio specialized into motion graphics located in Calgary, Canada. Founded in 2005 by Steve Seeley and Robb Thompson, the team's philosophy relies on finding creativity through collaboration. Even if they sometimes work on printed or webdesign projects, the most of their production is motion design, with realisations for clients like Mercedes, Rolex, and some TV Channels.
