Publishing
As the book designer, I created print ready files including page layouts, vector illustration components and book pagination; delivered assets for both the dust cover and the text block. Book title renderings are also used on official website.
The publication of this book was launched by completing a successfully funded Kickstarter campaign. The initiative included video production, social media strategy and multi-channel design components. I created the print ready files for the book production including the cover, end-sheets and text block.

Role: Creative Director. Complete site overhaul. After creating the company brand style-guide, I was asked for advice on their website. I created a wireframe to convey UI and UX based of the available applications provided on wix.com. I then migrated all relevant content from the existing site into the new interface I crafted from a blank template.

2015 - Super Bowl XLIX: Apollo House --The company initiative was to build brand awareness, create community engagement through social media and strengthen C-Level network relationships.
The Arrogant Butcher was transformed into "The Apollo House" by rebranding the entire inside of the venue and hanging a 15 foot marque sign outside the building directly in the middle of "Super Bowl City". We created exclusive CEO invitations incorporating a video with Larry Fitzjerald directly asking the recipient to come join the experience. We launched #apollohouse for the media and community to post their experiences as we hosted multiple MSNBC broadcasts, NFL Player Q&A sessions including Joe Namath, Opening Night with Ryan Seacrest and much more.
The outcome was a success. The Apollo marque was perfectly positioned continuously in the background of local anchors reporting the festivities of downtown all week. There were significant surges with #apollohouse throughout the initiative, especially during major broadcasts.

Evolution of company logo. The original mark existed before I started work for Apollo. The word "Education" was then added to the legal name. Then the executive initiative was to have all 17,000 employees identify the parent company as "One Apollo". The concept is a reflection of the parent company branding being embraced by the four main subsidiary identities.
The executive initiative was to have all 17,000 employees identify the parent company as "One Apollo". My concept is a reflection of the parent company branding being embraced by the four main subsidiary identities. I assigned my Sr. Designer to collaborate and provide me other options.
To support the executive initiative of "One Apollo", I created a pocket folder to contain company information on each of the subsidiary identities. This folder would contain a die cut circle with one tab on each flap representing one college. When all the flaps come together they form a ring around the corporate mark completing the "One Apollo" logo. This is the front and back view - Assembled.
