Print Design
Print Media
Having worked for the Denver Post for 25 years I was responsible for the design and creation of many of their print media deliverables. Whether it was a newspaper ad, Direct Mail piece, or event program. I was fortuntate enough to be in on them from concept through creation and on forward to the printed product enjoying all stages of the print design process.
The Denver Auto Show
Case Study
Client: The Denver Auto Show
Purpose: Event Program.
Description: From Concept to creation I was incharge of collecting the articles, designing the floor maps, creating advertsing for advertisors who didn’t submit camera ready, speaking to columnist, cover design, content organization and magazine layout.
I was pretty much involveed in every aspect of it’s design and creation. The full program can be viewed here.
Re/Max Professionals
Case Study
Client: Re/Max
Purpose: Full-page, 4/C newspaper ad to promote current and available home listings.
Description: This was a prescheduled Real Estate ad in which I received all listings in an Excel document and the home pictures were retrieved from the MLS site. Once all information was gathered, I laid it into one of three templates in Adobe Indesign, heavy use of stylesheets and the Adobe Creative Suite. Select the image to see a larger view.
I would caution that these listing prices are no longer valid and the homes themselves, perhaps, no longer on the market.
Catholic Cemeteries Conference
Case Study
Client: Archdiocese of Denver
Purpose: To promote the Catholic Cemeteries Conference held in Tennessee.
Description: I was commissioned to design the promotional materials for an upcoming Catholic Cemeteries conference. Being that it was held in Nashville, I incorporated a musical theme for this promotional flyer. I also placed a background image of the “Grand Ole Opry” into the concept.

Client: The Brooks Companies
Purpose: Direct Mail piece to highlight ranch land.

Foot Solutions
Case Study
