A Sampling of Promotional Materials

Digital

Special Events

The Portland Blues and Jazz Dance Society needed an image they could post on social media and also printed on physical postcards to promote their nonprofit soirée summer event in June 2022. This event had the highest attendance recorded.

Promotional Videos

Need a flashy video for a local event? Make it look like a million bucks and your attendees will be showing up for the party like they did at The Landing PDX in 2023. (Sound absolutely recommended).

Responsive Design

July is a big month for the Portland Blues & Jazz Dance Society due to the many blues and jazz themed events in Portland at this time. This makes for good advertising but also competition for the month. Taking advantage of the former, reformatted website ads were run in the "Blues Notes" paper and it was also time for Facebook promos. Of course there needed to be several dimensions for different screen-sizes, making for a series of interesting layouts.

These images were created to announce the return of an in-person event with a dance organization.

These were designed to be displayed on their website and used for a variety of social media posts.

Swag

Buy-in from the Top

He designed the bike, I designed the sticker.

Including Everyone

Although less often, some employees had kids instead of dogs! Family support is very important for the happiness of an employee at their job so it is important to make them feel like they are seen as well.

Prototypes Tested Internally

Bike helmet reflectors and single-color light-blocking stickers for sale on startup-within-a-startup display for employees.

Laser Pen concept

Subjecting everyone to my puns equitably also needed to include the Sales and Marketing Team. Go team!

The business motto of "I pull the strings around here" was adapted to this PupPET collar and leash combo (see what I did there?)

Print

1/4 Page Color Ad

This poster was created to advertise a regular in-person Tuesday night event to be printed on postcards to be printed in Blues Notes, the authority on Blues music and dancing in Portland, OR. It was printed in the edition for distribution during the month of the famous Waterfront Blues Festival and Jazz Festival.

Xerox-print Flyers

Made for Integrity Brewing, these flyers were designed in black and white so they could be cheaply distributed in local neighborhoods and printed on colorful paper.

Business Cards

Taking a new logo and putting on a business card is a great way to reach people in the "real world". These were made to serve as one side of a business-card-sized coupon that would provide a buy-one-get-one to various events.

Branded Presentations

These images were created to announce an in-person event with a dance organization. They were used for board presentations, as well as on their website and social media sites to promote the return of their event.

Poster Design in Context

This poster was created to advertise a special online event on a website's main page. It included a custom check-out process for purchasing ticket on square space, Paypal and Facebook. This project was done using a very limited set of visual design components and required the use of client images.

Click the blue button to the right to see the design in context with website flow chart, checkout process, and a concept app for in-person events.
