Kid's Banking Mailer
Concepted and designed for USAA, won gold Ambit
Di and Dan Mailer
Concepted and designed for Valent USA, promoting the use of DiTel and Danitol together in grape production for pest control. The accompanying radio spot was a mock advertisement for Di and Dan's Dance School, where you could learn dances like "the Leafhopper Mambo." Sound effects simulated bugs being squashed under the feet of dancers. This piece won multiple awards on regional and national levels.
Burndown BRM
Concepted, designed and art directed for Valent USA. This card was used as a response device included in a kit for dealers. Each kit contained a video promoting the use of Knack for burndown in cotton production. Included were the materials for a BBQ, to be held during a meeting with growers to show the video. The budget did not allow for a stylist or model, so the writer and I burned holes in the clothes and applied charcoal as make-up to his face for the photo. I added the smoke in post. The kit won multiple awards on regional and national levels.
ProGibb Calendar
Concepted, designed and illustrated for Valent USA
Valent Professional Products Brochure
Designed and art directed for Valent Professional Products. The budget did not allow for a stylist, and we had a very short turn around time during the off season for the plants that we needed to shoot. We coordinated getting the plants from a local florist, but he stripped the stems of the plants against my instructions. I had to group the plants in a way to simulate abundance and to hide the stripped stems as if they were still at a grower's greenhouse. The client was very pleased with the results.
Safari Ad
Concepted, designed and art directed for Valent USA to promote Safari pesticide. The budget did not allow for a model-maker, stylist or location. I worked with a digital retoucher and 3-D artist, who literally shot a photo of a co-worker in some weeds on the side of the road, created a whitefly with 3-D software, and retouched the merged image to mimick an early twentieth century photo of a big game hunter in Africa. The ad and accompanying materials were so successful that the client ran out of the product before the end of the season. The campaign is still winning awards today, several years later, on both regional and national levels.
CBRE Ad
Concepted, designed and art directed the photo shoot for CBRE

Ruff on the Bluff Invitation
