This is a site re-skin I did for CinemaBlend.com to promote the theatrical movie “Nine”. This is my favorite re-skin I’ve done for the site so far. Sometimes the movie studios can get really picky with the design but they seemed to like this one. They only had minor adjustments from my original mock-up which was pretty cool.

This is a CD design that I did for my dad’s most recent album. I did all of the design work as well as the photography used for the artwork. I’m happy with the way it turned out.

I really love food photography, but I’ve always had a hard time getting good lighting inside the house.  It was getting to the point where I would time my cooking with the weather so I could take the food and photograph it in the sunlight.  A friend recommended the Lowel Ego to me, and after a few weeks of putting it off, I finally ordered one last week.  It came Friday and it is awesome!

I made some oatmeal Saturday morning and took a few shots to test the light out.  I’m really happy with the way they turned out.  Here are a few shots to look at:

Remember you can check out all of my food photography and regular photography on my flickr page!

Got to work on this menu the other day at work.  In the direct mail industry, we don’t get many chances to sit down with an ad and make it look good.  Time is usually the biggest priority.  That’s why it’s always nice to get a chance to really focus on making an ad look nice.  It also doesn’t hurt when the client gives you free (or mostly free) creative range.  This ad/menu was built entirely from scratch, with the clients only directions being to organize the menu in a certain order, and to put that horrible burst on the back.  I’m happy with the way it turned out.  I think it looks nice.

I recently got to work on some graphics for Cinema Blend for their coverage of Comic Con.  I had a lot of fun working on these and playing with a comic book style for the images.

You can check out all of the different graphics I made, as well as some fantastic Comic Con coverage, over at Cinema Blend.

Now that I’m done with school I’ve had some time to focus on one of my favorite hobbies… photography.

I recentley dug up my Flickr account, deleted all of my old junk (mostly vacation snapshots, etc) and added  some new photography.  So if you’re interested, please head over to my new and improved Flickr account and check it out!

Thought I would share a couple jobs I’ve worked on recently at my work. Since I work in direct mail I don’t always get a chance to make really nice ads, but when I do I always jump at the chance. Here are two of my favorite ads I’ve worked on. Both of these were made completely from scratch although based off of ideas requested by the client.
