Habilitation Center BrochureGraphic Persuasion, Inc. Summer 2007. I was given complete artistic control over the redesign of this brochure. I wanted the piece to capture the beauty and spirit that exists at the Habilitaion Center. The cover was designed after signs that appear through out the grounds, finished off with photos of the lush landscaping. On the interior I modified the photographs so that the backgrounds faded away, to suggest the focus that is placed on each individual at the center. The project also required I add a woman into the group photo (can you guess who I added?) |

Deerfield Beach Guide to ServicesGraphic Persuasion, Inc. Summer 2007. This was another redesign project I was given full control over. After a few false starts I came up with the idea to have each section be horizontal and line up with the corresponding collection day map. |

Build It RightGraphic Persuasion, Inc. December 2006. I took the photgraph in the background of this ad appearing in the April 2007 issue of Import Tuner. Lubriplate normally advertises No. 105 Motor Assembly Grease in Hot Rod where we can use photos of the art director's Camero. In Import Tuner an American car simply would not do. My sister had just gotten a Civic Si with a super charger so I volunteered to take a photo of her engine for the ad. It just so happened that the magazine came out in time for her birthday and I was able to surprise her with her car in Import Tuner. |

Beneke Wire Full Page AdGraphic Persusaion, Inc. December 2006. Beneke wanted a new look for their new ad featuring heat treated wire. I came up with this flame-like background image for the ad. It was very well recieved and was later used in their trade show display (see below). |

Beneke Wire Interwire Trade Show DisplayGraphic Persuasion, Inc. December 2006. Trade show display made using my artwork. |

Beneke Wire Full Page AdGraphic Persuasion, Inc. December 2005. I was given this ad to work on to bring in some fresh ideas. |

Automated Garbage Collection SurveyGraphic Persusaion, Inc. Summer 2005. Another early porject. It was my job to design the survey so that it looked good. It is surprising how terrible something as simple as a survey can look; but in the right hands the design isn't even noticed and that's what makes it great. I also was in charge of the placement of the postage information, a critical task. |

SFGO Ultra-7 AdGraphic Persuasion, Inc. Summer 2005. A small job I was given to layout. |

Retouched Recycling BinsGraphic Persuasion, Inc. Summer 2005. Each of the bins in these two pairs were photographed seperately. It was up to me to make each pair look like they belonged together. I added the labels on the two larger bins and removed some other stickers in Photoshop. |

Deerfield Beach Guide to RecyclingGraphic Persusaion, Inc. Summer 2005. This was one of the first designs I worked on at Graphic Persuasion. I came up with the idea of having the three arrows of the recycling logo represent the three types of recycling bins. I used the colors of each bin to outline the arrows that contain pictures of things that are to be placed in that bin. I was also responsible for cleaning up the new photography that was taken for this piece, which includes the large light blue dumpster and the blue handy bin. |

Graphic Persuasion, Inc. Business CardGraphic Persuasion, Inc. Summer 2005. I need a business card so I updated the design while I was at it. In addition to the new business card I also redesigned our envelopes, invoices, fax forms, purchase orders, etc. |
