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?

client: Aurora Quanta Productions

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.
