Creating compelling graphics for an advertising campaign (especially when the client has nothing to start with) is one of the most rewarding experiences. I love the freedom that comes with the question “Can you come up with something?” Not to mention the reaction of seeing the shiny new graphics up on a website. Check out some examples of various advertising campaigns on my Behance portfolio.

I’ve added a new gallery to my Behance portfolio. I walk you through a recent project that was created for 102.5 KZOK FM, featuring Paul McCartney. The station required a page featuring the latest single from Sir Paul’s upcoming DVD+CD release. The client provided photos taken at the live concert which I used to create a composite image for the website. The image was also featured on the website’s homepage in their rotating flipper.

Since I’ve been so busy lately I’ve decided that I would set up a new online portfolio using the great behance.net service. You can check out my new portfolio here.

No, it’s not an April Fool’s joke… 106.1 KISS FM is really not a CBS station anymore. Since running kissfmseattle.com was about 99.5% of my daily responsibilities I have a lot more free time now. I think this will be a blessing in disguise really.

A year ago I had less on my plate and that gave me time to develop projects and really get into the details of what I was working on. When I took on the main load of the Digital Media department here I instantly became swamped with work. Not that I am complaining, I know that because of the pressure I have grown as a designer and in many other ways that I’m sure I will never know. Now that KISS is gone though, I am excited at the thought of having that free time back.

There are many improvements that I will be making over the next 6-8 months on am1090seattle.com (the site that I am still managing). This will be a fun time, I’m sure, so look ahead to many interesting updates to come!
