Ace Scotch Product Design/Brand Image
Ace Scotch is a concept based around the idea of a Gentleman’s night out. I researched and used the 50’s music group The Rat Pack as inspiration to create a series of products focused around the feeling of a guy’s night out. This included Scotch Whiskey, Cigarettes, and Poker Cards all using the Ace brand image that would be sold as a bundled gift.

Smoking Cessation Fliers
Stenves-Henager College, upon planning a Smoking Cessation Seminar, asked me to create fliers to bring people into the event as the event was dependant on the amount of RSVP’s it received. I created three separate ideas. The only poster used was the first. The use of the photography and simple, yet bold typography gained an excellent amount of attention.

While serving as Program officer with the Stevens-Henagar College Salt Lake Campus AIGA Student Group we planned and executed an Art Show showcasing local artists and music. My responsibilities included finding, booking, and meeting with the musicians attending as well as set up the stages and sound. As a group we decided to let everybody design a piece in and then vote on the which would be used as a brand identity for the show. The two fliers shown were the official selections, which were then printed and distributed throughout the Salt Lake valley. The logo was then used for stickers and shirts as well. This project gave me a chance to use my photography and creativity to create an effective call to action.

San Juan Credit Union currently uses this logo in a variety of media's such as letterheads, clothing and name tags. In the next couple of years the Credit Union will be expanding, building a new establishment and using this logo on their building and more consistently throughout the company.

GED Program Identity
Stevens-Henager College recently opened a department dedicated purely to offering Free GED classes and studying. I was approached about making some materials for the program and decided to take it in a full branding direction. In collaboration with Sean Pace we came up with the idea and I designed and implemented the idea into the logo, branding, testing cards, ID cards, posters and invitations. This branding has given the GED program a fresh and interesting look that really compliments the department.
