Rather than going with a standard portrait orientation, I chose to utilize a landscaped layout that would make the ad more noticeable to the reader by forcing them to stop and turn the magazine. Because this particular product features luxurious materials, I wanted the focus to be on beautiful photography that really highlighted that aspect. Ultimately, this was not the final design, but it is still my personal favorite of the concepts presented. | ![]() Athletic Propulsion Labs®Project: t-shirt designs.Role: design.Agency: The UXB®.  Description: Preliminary (and my favorite) t-shirt concepts for the company's apparel line. | ![]() The Blonde & The BrunetteProject: Promo item.Role: design.Agency: The UXB®.  Description: T-Shirt designs intended to be given away as promotional items at conferences and events.
