Italian Trade Commission Newsletter

Goldlink Newsletter

Many, many hours of retouching in this publication. 4 pages of 11 x 17 full color. All the imagery came from different sources and had to be scanned, color-corrected and scaled up. The content from the client was the worst. Eventually I was able to get uniform color hues and achieve a balanced look for the piece. THEN I added my own touches, such as the jet in the clouds which was a composite from 3 photographs. I guess, in the end, I mark this one down as a technical achievement as much as a design piece. I’m hoping I was able to give it a sophisticated and stylish look which is what italian jewelry is all about anyway.

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.

! was asked to do this design over the weekend. Used some stock photography, that I shot, and some Photoshop™ retouching to get the feel of film speeding through the camera.

This ad ran as the campaign for the show The Treatment for over 2 years. Produced for a radio show where, Elvis Mitchell the host, interviews filmakers that work both in front and behind the camera.

This was a quick turn-a-round project for KCRW to promote their Lexus giveaway sweepstakes.

I retouched the photograph to give some extra kick , by increasing the contrast and playing with the color. I built the road sign in my favorite 3D application. and fused it all in Photoshop™.
