ADVERTISING


4/62

01

client: Casco Bay Brewing

project: full page print ad

The idea behind this campaign

was to showcase the admiration

a beer lover has for his favorite

beer. Besides, whats more fun

than figuring out how to hang

beer bottles from a clothesline?



5/62

02



The second in the campaign,

pushing the idea that the beer

lover wants his beer close and

accessible. Not to mention part

of the daily routine.



6/62

03



The third in the campaign, really

showing off how a beer lover

reveres his brew. Talk about a

nasty photo shoot. I cant stand

the smell of deviled eggs fresh,

let alone after sitting under the

lights for a couple hours.



7/62

04



The fourth and final for this

campaign. What better use for

a washing machine, huh?



8/62

05



The idea behind this second

campaign was to just have fun.

Coming up with bizarre little

stories and then connecting that

story to beer at the last moment.



9/62

06



The second of the campaign.

If only dogs could buy beer.



10/62

07



The third of the campaign.

Elvis. Enough said.



11/62

08



The fourth and final. A little

lesson in social interaction.



12/62

09

client: Brown Goldsmiths

project: Small space ads

Smart, simple and elegant was

the idea here. But at the same

time, a sense of humor.



13/62

10



Second in the campaign.

If only it were that easy.



14/62

11



Third in the campaign.



15/62

12



Fourth in the campaign.

The truth revealed.



16/62

13

client: Federal Spice Restaurant

project: small space newspaper ads

Steve, the owner of

Federal Spice wanted to do

advertising that had the same

attitude as he felt his restaurant

had. Careful what you ask for.



17/62

14



Second in the campaign.

A little drop ill do ya.



18/62

15



Number three. The restaurant

actually got some press with

this one. Someone actually

wrote a letter to the editor of

Maine Biz, complaining about

the self-righteousness of this

ad. The owner was thrilled.



19/62

16



The fourth in this campaign.

A little compliment goes a

long way.



20/62

17

client: Zodiac Shoes

project: Half page trade ads

Zodiac returned to the shoe

industry with this campaign after

restructuring their company and

focusing on womens shoes.

Yes, those are actual shoes.

Kids today.



21/62

18



Remember that whole

Duran Duran boot craze?

Well, these guys invented that

look, and with the return of Zodiac

to the shoe industry, they updated

the boot that started it all.



22/62

19



Nothing says love like a

wood-sole shoe.



23/62

20

client: Aurora Quanta Productions

project: Half page ads

Aurora created a new way for

independent photographers to

sell their photography as stock

without having to make a deal

with the devil.

This campaign helped them make

that point in a fun and visually

interesting way. Another challenge

was we could only use photography

from their bank of stock photos.

Sometimes working in a little tiny

box yields some great results.



24/62

21



Public service announcement,

or smart ass art director?

You be the judge.



25/62

22



When you come across a

photo of a half-shorn sheep,

its impossible to pass it up.



26/62

23

client: Barber Foods

project: Full page trade advertising

Targeted to buyers in mid-level

restaurants, Barber wanted to

show their consistency in

product. To be able to that in

the food service industry without

actually showing the product

was a beautiful thing.



27/62

24

client: Stock Food

project: half page ads

Another stock photo agency, with

again another challenge of using

only photos in their archive.

What they really wanted to show

was the depth and unexpected

variety of their photos.



28/62

25

client: Stock Food


A face only a mother could love.



29/62

26

client: Stock Food


Kinda makes you want to look

into that whole vegetarian thing,

doesnt it?



30/62

27

client: Stock Food


mmmm, raw meat.
