This is the February 9th front page of the Southside Times. We did a community feature about the best doughnut shops and it required something a little different. I developed the plates layout around the idea of an old-fashioned doughnut shop and then incorporated elements and color throughout the layout.

McDonald's is a brand that is known worldwide so creating a full page ad for a broadsheet newspaper can be a daunting task. I tend to have a love affair with movie posters and it comes out in my layouts from time to time. I designed this completely in Adobe Indesign.

The client supplied the logo and the square flyer. I distressed the flyer, added the hand, gore, background and copy. The end result is a slasher movie poster straight out of 1986.

The client is a funky, trendy hair salon. They needed a a top banner for their myspace page. They wanted to have a picture of all of them sitting in a certain chair... the only problem was, they only had one. So I made a composite and then put the shop's logo on the brick wall as well

On this cover of the Carmel Business Leader, we had custom arcade game builder. I knew I wanted to do something in the style of retro 80s arcades. I decided on the headline font and it took off from there. I painted in the glow on his hand with multiple techniques, illuminated his face and couldn't complete it until I made his hair a little electrical as well. The cover subject loved it.

On the cover: John Wade, a bar owner on Indianapolis' north side. The green Apple Pucker bottle really pops next to the purple masthead. This was the first time that we covered the masthead this intensely.
