Petco, Inc. - Print, Web and Photography

These are examples of several mailers and ads I did for Petco, Inc using InDesign, Quark Express, Photoshop and Illustrator.  Petco supplies individuals with pets, pet products and services.  These magazine ads and mailers are sent out to over 41 different markets across the United States and would have up to 8 pages.  They bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars from consumers looking for bargains, incentives and deals that the product team creates.  My job was to make it visually stunning while being challenged with space constraints for each pet product(s) as well as having a tight budget.   I managed the concept, layout, photography, print, and budget while working with precise timelines and  across multiple groups. 

Video Editing - Enter The Dragon

This is an example of some of my video work I did using Photoshop and Final Cut Pro.  Here the task was to sum up the movie in less than 35 seconds.  I added some effects to make the story more interesting and to add visual intrigue.

Pac-Bell - Advertisement

I wanted to take a funny approach to internet access and reliability so I came up with the idea.  I had the idea of someone naked and the title but needed a model for the job.  The picture I came across was taken from a photo book I found and happened to be a perfect fit for my concept.

Painting - Oil on Canvas

This is an example of a painting I did using oil depicting a table with a ball and banana on it and a red drape flowing in the background.  My inspiration comes from O'Keefe, Park, Salsich, Brancusi and Jones as I tend to like artists that truly show their eye through various means. 

Painting - Oil on Canvas

This is another example of a painting I did using oil paints on a canvas sheet.  Here I was experimenting using color and line trying to create a piece that reflects mother nature and the power of the elements.

Nextel Communications- Sales Fliers

This is an example of a weekly flier I did for Sprint Nextel Communications using Illustrator.  The sales teams wanted to recognize their top sales performer and incorporate a visual so I came up with the idea of a bulldog with a chain collar with their name on either side.  The sales teams loved the idea and used it to give recognition to the 'Top Dawg' in sales for the week.

Photo By Meg - Business Cards and Sticker

This is an example of a business card and sticker I did for a photographer using Illustartor.  She was looking to incorporate not only her Photo By Meg name but also a camera.  I decided to incorporate the camera lens into her initials making a striking image that could be easily recognized and identified.

Paul Oakenfold - CD Cover

This is a mockup CD cover I did for the artist Paul Oakenfold using Photoshop. I like the way the colors work as it gives movement to the piece and the way the font of the 'Hot Sheet' matches the person's outfit.  My idea was to show the music movement through a striking image while using color to create movement.   

Recreational Equipment Incorporated (REI) - Magazine and Poster Add

For REI, I came up with a mockup magazine add advertising their climbing lessons and sales using Illustrator.  Here I wanted to show REI's true nature and mindshare of  getting people outside and getting them excited to be active.  Here I stuck with a simple concept and used various colors to help stimulate the design.   

   

Dura Pharmaceuticals Inc. - Web Page, Logo, Letterhead & Business Cards

This is an example of a web page, business cards and logo I created using both Illustrator and Photoshop.  Dura was a pharmaceutical company that helped people with respiratory problems.  I designed the logo in a  shape of a pill with a person in the middle.  The idea of combining two forms (pharmaceutical and human) into one seemed such a great fit.
