it's tuesday.: my very own advertisments

hello to all my fellow advertising adorers! i'm posting some of my very own ads and graphic design work for you all to enjoy. i have them in order of when i made them. please leave comments and tell me what you think. you can click on any of the images to see them in their original size!

this is a cd cover i created in photoshop and indesign during my second semester digital techniques class.

here is the inside left

and the inside right.

and finally the back cover back cover.

i also made a poster to go along with the cd's release which was on october 28, 2008, it's full size is 11'x17'

this next one is a logo i designed for the neighborhood i live in. technically it's called lower nob hill, but those of us who live there consider it to be much more tenderloin-ish than nob hill-ish, so it "upper tenderloin" seemed appropriate.

this next piece is a movie poster i drew by hand using prisma color markers and a bic pen which i then imported into indesign to add the text; it was an assignment from my drawing for digital photography and advertising class also during my second semester.

this next ad was from the same class, it is my own original illustration done in adobe illustrator.

this campaign was done during my ad creative class during my third semester, it doesn't have a totally amazing concept but i really like how it turned out.

this is a poster from my typography class done this semester.

this was one of my favorite campaigns i've done so far! it is for the body shop; the campaign's concept is customers can bring any competitor's product in and make a "fair trade" for a sample size body butter. the campaign highlights the fact that the body shop's products contain products that have been traded fairly(which is really important!!!) and also will bring new customers in and get them hooked on their infamous body butter. i have three print ads posted but the campaign also features POS, web banners, guerilla posters and a few random ambient ideas. i entered it into a D&AD award show so keep your fingers crossed!

AND FINALLY!!! when i was working at it's a grind they brought in a restaurant aspect to the coffee shop. in doing this the were struggling to get people in who wanted to enjoy their coffee AND their extensive food menu. so i sat down with the owner and we decided to re-vamp their menu, make a mini-outdoor board and create posters to put in their windows. i shot all of the photos of the yummy food pictured and designed everything else! luckily it brought in new customers and the revised menu made a huge difference too. in fact it brought their business up by 12%, which doesn't sound like a lot but in the coffee shop industry it is!
