Advertising USASA National Snowboard Team This ad introduced the snowboarding culture to the new USASA National Snowboard Team. It was designed to convey a fresh new partnership with PacSun and the team.
Advertising USASA National Snowboard Team The USA Snowboard Association needed advertisements in Snowboarder and Transworld Snowboarding magazines to showcase the talent of their team members. I was asked to design a campaign that showed nationalistic pride in a fresh and current style that would appeal to today's alternative sports culture. The design is an abstraction of the stars and stripes in concert with photographs of the team members at work.

Signage PacSun The project on the left entailed creating a concept for the "PacLoot" program that was used on in-store signage and small cards that could be redeemed for merchandise. Below you can find an in-store signage program for the PacSun annual "summer sale". I used a metallic ink and a linear illustration to tie into the 4th of July theme during which the sale took place. In the bottom left corner is a sale window banner and an additional window cling used for a promotion near the end of the summer, hence the "endless summer " look.
