Project: Nike Sphere React Media Kit

Synopsis: Had to create media sales piece to assist associates in promoting the new Nike Spere React fabrics. The solution became an unconventional booklet with a band to hold it together for portability. The book was french-folded which allowed us to have fabric swatches on one side but did not show through on the other so they did not interfere with the proceding spreads.

Project: Roy Lichtenstein book cover

Synopsis: Lichtenstein, of course, is an amazing artist who embodies much of the essense of pop art. He was most famous for his appropriation of comic book forms and graphical elements into his paintings. Utilizing his very graphical work not only communicated the heart of the work inside but created a unique wrap around composition for the cover.

Project: NW Film Center youth Program mailer

Synopsis: Northwest Film Center is a local hub for film makers and classes. The brochure had to be interesting, informational and fun for a smart, savvy young audience. A poster for the interior was developed to be attractive, interesting and a keepsake to hang on a wall as a reminder of the program in the future.

Project: Peet's Magazine Spread

Synopsis: Peet's Coffee & Tea offers great tastes from around the world, which normal canned coffee just can't compete with. This brought about our main character, the poor coffee maker given nothing but second class coffee its entire life and just can't take it anymore. We didn't want to spell it out for the viewer; the obscurity and taking a moment to piece it together makes for a cynical snicker.
