Jaguar Postcard
spacer
The Manhattan trip for this piece had expired so I took the color of the Jaguar and used it for a color palette to create a 3D abstract background using Cinema 4D. I had fun working with the subtle colors and getting the lighting to work with the body light on the car’s body. This was the first time I incorporated 3D in my print work.

This piece is part of the automobile series.

KCRW Jaguar Sweepstakes Envelope

Jaguar Sweepstakes Envelope
spacer
This was the first time the client had a car as part of sweepstaks. The deal with Jaguar came through at the last minute. So I had to pull this piece together while on vacation in the Bahamas, working off a 1st generation iBook. I decided to keep the elements to a minimum and allow the envelope to ‘breathe’.

This piece is part of the Jaguar series and the automobile series.

KCRW Smart Car Postcard

Smart Car ForTwo American Version

This card was an extension of a large print and online campaign. I color coded different pieces of the campaign with changing background colors. This marks one of the final pieces and has a color from each of the different campaigns.

There are a lot of subtle enhancements to the card including a custom vector background, extensive retouching to the windows, outline and reflection of the car. I like this piece because it shows how one can massage a unique look over the period of a campaign.

Mini Cooper Postcard

A postcard-promo sweepstake featuring a Mini Cooper. An additional $5,000 added to the prize to customize the car. I found a vector illustration of a Mini with quite a few ‘extras’.

Postcards, by nature have to be rough-and-ready, a simple quick read. The choice of the red and blue connect with another targeted piece whose colorway was the same.

Smart Car Sweepstakes Envelope

I created all the elements of this piece, the olympic ribbon was hand-made in Illustratorâ„¢ and the smart car had some major retouching.

This envelope was converted [printed + folded from scratch] so I could run my layout right up to the edges. The background wraps around the car like a custom photography stage, giving the car a grounding and a color splash of many hues.
