RTD Construction Detour Ad

, , , , ,

This YouTube video ad was to notify RTD passengers that there would be some changes to the rail routes during construction. Never easy news to impart, but I think this video I created threads the needle of informative while being somewhat entertaining. Maybe? ;)

See this ad on the RTD YouTube channel and my YouTube channel.

RTD has a tradition of celebrating important events and holidays by commissioning special designs for RTD busses that reflect the importance to our community.

Commuters
Car Travelers
Pass Holders/Business

I conceived and created the graphics for the full campaign to represent each of […]

The goal of the design is to depict the wide variety of customers that they serve, and the deep community that they span. And to embody their mission statement: […]

Crafting this logo for the podcast entitled ‘We Drink and We Watch Things’ was a fun project! These two cinephile podcasters really know their movies and how to have a lively discussion.

I also created a animated post to promote their podcast on social media. […]

I created this Military Recruitment Campaign animated social media delivery for RTD, featuring some of their military staff, to appeal to potential employees with military backgrounds.

It was a pleasure completing a full rebrand for the APPLEWOOD BUSINESS ASSOCIATION. This association has been in existence for several decades and is a staple in the Applewood, Colorado community. Although it is a successful organization, they are looking to grow and expand into larger markets, and to appeal to the younger generation. They […]

EUROPE Tourism Advertisement

, , ,

On a recent trip through Europe I was surprised to find very little well-designed marketing collateral. I thought that Europe could really use a new logo, and a great advertising campaign. Not that people really need to be enticed into going to Europe…it sells itself. Nonetheless, I decided to take this on just for fun!

I designed a […]

Given the colorful nature of the Brazilian […]

This project was meant to create an identity for a humanitarian organization called MISSION OF HOPE. This organization works to provide water to the impoverished areas of Ethiopia, in order to abate the spread of disease that results from lack of water.
