West Texas Showdown Street Fighter Tournament Poster

2011-04-13T11:06:00.000-07:00

This is a poster for Tech Gaming League, a student organization that used to be at Texas Tech University. The TGL ran video game tournaments for various games such as Street Fighter and Halo. This poster is designed to appeal to the competitive community of Street Fighter players. It also has the ability to be re-size as a postcard for easier distribution.

Battlefield 3 print campaign. Three-shot

2011-04-08T21:29:00.001-07:00

This is a three-shot campaign for the video game Battlefield 3 developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts.

The concept is to show the intensity of the game and having copy reinforce what's already being shown through the dynamic visual. The copy is used a subtle part of the ad. The selling point is the visual itself.

ATI Radeon Graphics Card Campaign

2011-02-07T14:17:00.000-08:00

In this three-shot campaign for ATI Radeon Graphics, I wanted to use high-resolution close-ups of key figures in today's PC game icons. Games featured are Battlefield 3, Medal of Honor, and Crysis 2.

Battlefield 3 PC game web/print ad

2011-01-18T15:12:00.001-08:00

Battlefield 3 is EA/DICE's upcoming first-person shooter slated to released later for the fall holiday season. There is no confirmed date, so I simply made one up. DICE's previous game called Battlefield 2 used a similar theme to its logo, so I simply created this teaser-style ad promoting Battlefield 3. The target audience of gamers will identify with it immediately.

Final Texas Tech College of Engineering Poster

2010-11-30T18:39:00.001-08:00

Texas Tech Engineering poster being sent out to over 2,000 prospective students. The charge was to design a poster with iconic elements of Texas Tech along with Engineering elements. I went through three different concepts to get to this grunge-style design.

The dimensions are 24 x 36.

Lego Store Signs

2010-11-08T08:18:00.001-08:00

I integrated my Lego "Go anywhere" campaign with store signs.

These signs would be displayed in Lego sections in retail stores carrying Lego products. The concept is to have each Lego product line, such as the City product, have signs that correlate the product with the real-world setting.

Tech Engineering Poster

2010-11-05T09:24:00.001-07:00

When I had to concept for this project, I first came up with three different ideas: Grunge, Retro, and Modern. My senior editor preferred the grunge theme, so I went with it. The charge was to create a poster for prospective engineering students for Texas Tech University. The poster was to have a calendar at the bottom, and to be Tech themed with subtle engineering elements, as seen in the engineering photos.

The ultimate goal of the poster was to create something that a student would want to hang up on their wall and it would be a constant reminder to them of Texas Tech.

This project is a work in progress and as soon as I complete it, I will put the finalized version up on here.

College of Engineering Job Fair

2010-10-04T08:39:00.001-07:00

The College of Engineering Job Fair was titled "Network". I had to design all signs for the fair. These are some pictures of the various signs I designed for the fair. Everything had to be branded and themed accordingly. Thousands of students attend this job fair every year, and I was excited to be part of designing the theme for this year's job fair.

The Order of the Engineer Campaign

2010-09-29T13:35:00.000-07:00

This was a challenging, yet exciting design to create. Previously the Order of the Engineer's design efforts were bland and out-dated. I was asked by my senior editor to come up with something modern, but to still keep within the brand of the college and the tradition of the Order of the Engineer.

2010-05-07T12:22:00.002-07:00

This japanese bistro is refine and elegant. It is for high-end clientele, and the menu selection is small due to the chef being one of the country's best. The bistro's design is one of Asian theme with a relaxing green color scheme. The bistro is in Chicago right in the heart of Chicago's theater/arts district.

Lego print ad campaign

2010-05-07T12:22:00.001-07:00

This Lego print campaign creates a new attitude toward what one can do with Lego. The campaign allows the reader to imagine where they can go with Lego. No matter the age of the person, Lego can allow a person to literally go anywhere within their mind. The challenge was to take real Lego products from the City product line and directly relate them to the real-world situations.

Houston Aeros outdoor campaign

2010-05-07T12:19:00.001-07:00

In the past the Houston Aeros hockey club had weak advertising campaigns. Instead of focusing on the game of hockey, their campaigns were focused more on family entertainment, or using slaptick humor to motivate people to buy tickets to the games. This outdoor campaign was charged with changing the Houston Aero's old image into a new one that educates new fans of hockey without insulting existing ones. The concept is to show the faces of Houston Aeros players and their game-face expressions. The campaign would be placed in high-traffic areas of Houston specifically around I-10, I-45, Loop 610, and I-59. The campaign will give the reader a mental game as they will see a variety of these boards throughout the Houston area and will be able to tie back with what the Houston Aeros want to achieve, which is a championship.

BAWLS energy drink print campaign

2010-04-26T13:11:00.000-07:00

Bawls Energy has always had a very weak advertising campaign. They're sold in niche market stores, and not many people know about them except for gamers. In a world of energy drink competition, BAWLS' has many advantages over their competitors: their distinctive bottle design with the textured bumps and their niche appeal to gamers.

This campaign focuses on the Halo video game and directly tying that to Bawls Energy. Gamers will appeal to these ads because of the popularity of the Halo video game, and the relation of Bawls to video games.

Guinness Print Campaign

2010-04-25T19:19:00.001-07:00

Guinness has a tradition with Ireland as the premium beer of Ireland and the stout category of beer. This print campaign was charged with taking the Guinness products of bottles and cans and telling the consumer they don't always have to be at a pub in order to enjoy Guinness. Guinness has increased their product line outside of the pub, and this campaign will achieve increased sales of various Guinness products, including their glassware.

This is Texas - Palo Duro Canyon State Park print campaign

2010-04-23T13:37:00.000-07:00

Palo Duro Canyon is the second largest canyon in the country. It's in Texas, yet only those in West Texas know it exists. This campaign was charged with creating brand awareness to new consumers. These print ads can easily translate into outdoor if needed. The concept is to show that PDC is in Texas, and the photography helps reinforce that. PDC is in Texas, it's not anywhere else. PDC is a Texas state park.

2010-04-07T06:32:00.001-07:00

Harley Davidson has a very well established brand image. Harley owners know their purchases are an investment for life. This print campaign was charged to remind existing Harley owners about their purchases, but also to entice brand awareness for the future Harley consumer.

Guinness Beer Ad

2010-03-28T21:25:00.000-07:00

In my creative strategy class, our teacher put us through a real-world scenario to pair up two people, a copywriter and a art director. I want to be in art direction and design, so I paired up with a classmate named David Redd who wants to be a copywriter.

We had a little less than an hour to complete our concept visually and tagline. This is what our finished product came out to be.

Continuing the trend of Lego Minimalism

2010-03-11T09:33:00.000-08:00

I really love the Lego minimalism ads that have one or two words of copy, paired with a visual image that's very strong and is practically an art piece.

I challenged myself to take what was working with Lego and expand upon it with my own concepts.

This is part of a three-ad campaign. I will post the final ad once it's finished.

What is Palo Duro Canyon? One Hour Project.

2010-03-08T19:27:00.000-08:00

Tonight while munching on some Subway, I was thinking of some ideas of how to creatively knock out some ads in a quick manner. I know my creative strategy teacher always tells us that in the real world, we will sometimes have a very limited time to design ads, sometimes an hour or even 30 minutes. I decided to create a ad campaign of three ads for Palo Duro Canyon in under an hour. I already had the photos from when I took past trips there. I brainstormed different copy, and decided that Palo Duro is Texas. Not many people know about Palo Duro Canyon, and the fact that it's the 2nd largest canyon in the United States, guess what the first one is.

My supporting headline is "This is Texas." I wanted to show that Palo Duro Canyon is really in Texas and not some other state. It promotes Texas culture, as well as the canyon state park.
