Oh Hey.

I know it's been a while since I updated this. I started to intern at Blonde Creative here in San Antonio. I am hoping to have some of the work that I've done while here up on my blog soon. Sit tight.

Key Largo Illustrations

The new website for Key Largo Illustrations is now up. If you're ever in the Florida Keys, stop in and visit the first tattoo shop to ever open in the keys and get tattooed by Tedd.  Here's a screen shot of the homepage.

Alex Kass XVX - Business Cards

With his relocation to a new tattoo shop, Mind's Eye Tattoo in San Antonio, Texas, Alex Kass was in need of a new business card as well.

Museum of Tolerance Brochure

This brochure was created in order to heighten the appeal of the Museum of Tolerance to teenagers. It is to be available at the museum itself, through local schools, at libraries, and through direct mail.  The brochure is a standard tri-fold brochure.

Spotted Owl Soft Drinks

One day while finding myself with some free time, I decided to create a new line of soft drinks called Spotted Owl. They are targeted towards young women and offer a lighter, all-natural soft drink.

Here is a business card that I created for the tattooer, Alex Kass.

Ocean Conservancy

While taking a class called Ad Design, we were given the project of creating a campaign about a social issue linked with an already existing group. I chose the Ocean Conservancy due to my love of sharks. I'm that person who can't wait for Shark Week every year, regardless if I have seen every show of Shark Week a billion times.
For my campaign, I chose to target what I called the "Jaws Era" these are people who were teenagers and young adults when the movie Jaws came out and have a real fear of sharks.
The campaign consisted of three print ads.

 Headline: "sea lions are better."

Body Copy: Well, they’re better than you are. I actually don’t prefer to eat you, although Jaws would have you think otherwise. If anyone is eating anyone, you guys are eating me. Shark finning in order to make shark fin soup is a serious issue. Let’s make a deal, you don’t eat me and I won’t eat you. Trust me, sea lions taste better anyway.

Headline: "jaws ruined my life."

Body Copy: No, really. Since that movie premiered in 1975, I’ve been the bad guy. I just want to swim around the ocean and eat a sea turtle or two. But I can’t do that anymore, instead I’m left to die at the bottom of the ocean, unable to swim so you can eat me. Be the good guy, help stop shark finning.

Headline: "just keep swimming."

Body Copy: It’s not always as easy as it sounds. Not to mention that I have to keep swimming in order to breathe. When shark finners cut off our fins, we sink to the bottom of the ocean. Since we can’t swim, we can’t breathe and we drown, as ironic as it may seem. Help stop shark finning. Besides, have you ever tried to swim without your arms? 

Day by Day

For one of my senior projects, I was given a student film from Chapman's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts and had the task of marketing this film all by my lonesome. However, it was not to be marketed as a student film, instead as film that was hitting major theaters across the country. On top of the task of marketing an entire film by myself, I did this without ever actually seeing this film due to it still being in production at the time.

Chapman Medical Group

For part of my Entertainment Marketing project, I created a medical group, the Chapman Medical Group. For this, I decided to make a business card and a letterhead.

H-E-B Commercial

This is my first and only commercial that I have created, so far. It is for the grocery store H-E-B, that is widely known across the state of Texas.
The commercial is targeted towards mothers, who often do the grocery shopping as well as those who are conscious of "going green."

*note: the voice over sounds a bit strange, but due to having a student budget, it's a friend's little cousin who volunteered for the part.
