Cause+Affect introduced the Movers and Shapers exhibition series to spotlight outstanding emerging designers influencing the future of Vancouver's design industry. Recognized as a prominent venue for design-focused discussions, the Museum of Vancouver enlisted Cause+Affect to present the third installment of their design exhibition series during the launch of their new institutional brand in 2008.

The exhibition attracted the largest opening night audience in the institution's history, establishing instant credibility and positioning it as an influential venue for the future.

The distinctive, almost retro identity of Movers and Shapers created a sense of movement, with the type appearing to burst out of the page—echoing the designers' emergence onto the scene. The straightforward black and white photography appropriately highlighted the designers as the focal point of the show.
