This would exist in Las Vegas or in Atlantic City where playing gambling is huge. The theme of playing cards was used for this Advertising campaign with the tag line “don’t depend on luck”.

That is where the cards correlate to the tagline. The skulls representing what could happen if you depend on luck.

Red Hot Chili Peppers The challenge for this project was to create a cd design for the Red Hot chili peppers along with a concert poster. The design of these had to represent the style of the Red Hot chili peppers. The solution was to use lips to create a sexual feel to the cover and cd. The Scar tissue album has that energy to it.





Matuse Matuse is a wetsuit company that focuses more on art and culture. The challenge was to create slider that appear on their website. There was a German literature movement called Sturm and Drung, which translates to storm and stress. For the sliders, stressful images were drawn to relate to mother nature being this unpredictable animalistic being. Quotes from the literature movement are used to relate to surfing.





Kiss of Death Kiss of Death is a company that produces skateboard wheels, grip tape and bearings. The challenge was to brand this company and create packaging for their product. Kiss of Death is a company that is based around skateboarders who are not afraid of getting hurt. They push it to the limit in order to progress their skating. The outcome of this branding project had to show the style of the people behind the brand and the customers who use the merchandise. The solution was to create a skull logo that looks as though it is falling apart. It has big red lips to go along with the company name. The packaging consists of the skull and a die cut of the lips. The wheels have the skull graphic on them along with the shirts. Kiss of Death.







Shit Kiss of death started with a group of friends who just wanted to Skate and surf all the time instead of getting a boring job right after graduating college. Since none of them were good enough to skate professionally,

creating their own company was a way they could do what they loved and make money doing it. Kiss of Death comes from the idea of you are either going to stomp a trick or eat shit. That fall could be the kiss of death for you.

J. Walter Thompson MOMA The Museum of Modern Art is looking for a new advertising agency to hire. J. Walter Thompson wants the MOMA account. The Challenge is to find a way to advertise the agency so that MOMA will want to hire them. The solution was to bring together the New York experience. Macys is one of JWTs big accounts. When people come and visit New York, they go visit the Museum of Modern Art and they go to the big Macys store on Broadway. Gorilla advertising is used to get the agency noticed. Macy’s shopping bags are used as the medium to get the agency noticed by MOMA. Anywhere one goes in the city, a Macy’s shopping bag can be seen. The idea is that someone from MOMA will see the bag and want to know who made it.
