The Chicken That Started It All. This is the original photo Dirt Cheap passed on for use on all advertising.

Using the same chicken, over the years it needed to be updated, different poses and outfits. These were mainly used on web banners for insideSTL.com. However the Blues chicken has been used on urinal posters at Scottrade Center, as well as the digital advertisements played around the rink. This demonstrates creating many designs using minimal creative from the client.

These were concepts for a banner stand that was used at live remotes that 590 and insideSTL would host at different client establishments.

These were table tents I made for a couple insideSTL events that were sponsored by 360 Vodka. These were created using existing client creative and expanding on them to promote specials. Due to the small scale operation at insideSTL, each one was cut and constructed by hand.

I designed the header sections used on insideSTL.com

Often we had to collaborate with preexisting creative from clients. This was a banner used to identify our Mardi Gras tent in soulard. The Miller Lite creative was provided, then deconstructed to fit the banner dimensions, and then our branding was added.

Even tho majority of our work at insideSTL.com is web based, occasionally we need things for print. This is a full page magazine advertisement I produced for a publication for Mizzou.

The Girl Next Door section and theme was already in existence when I started at insideSTL. For different events surrounding the contests I had to produce fliers using the preexisting theme and integrating it with our clients creatives for sponsorship.

Majority of the time I am handed copy points and a theme, then run with them to create promotional material. This was a first draft poster concept for a giveaway at Llywelyn's Pub for a trip to Vegas for New Years Eve.

Majority of the time I am handed copy points and a theme, then run with them to create promotional material. This was an advertisement for South side Jewelry, and Guns and Ammo. I was given the company logos and copy points. The client liked it so much, they ended up using it for print advertisement as well.

Here is another example of how I am handed copy points and a theme, then run with them to create promotional material. This was an advertisement for Kenrick's Meat Market. The client sent over their logo as well as some product images.

In this example, the client handed over all of the images and copy. They needed an advertisement made to fit a specific dimension for use in print as well as the weekly e-blast insideSTL produces.

In addition to graphic design, I also do photography. These photos were used to promote an amateur boxing match between The Morning After producer, Joe Pelusi, and a regular on the show who went by the name Timberfake. They were placed on web banners, e-blast advertisements, full page branding, and even in print. In addition to the photos and all the advertisements made with these, I also helped film and produce a 4 part video series surrounding the match.

I have also teamed up with Justin Boyd to take photos for his clients that he builds web sites for. In this case for Friendly's they did not have any photos for us to use. I had to take photos of menu items, bar atmosphere, drinks, and employees.

I have also done photos for HotShots Sports Bar and Grill. In this case they needed interior and exterior shots of their locations as well as a few menu items.

On occasion, clients do not have a copy of their logo that is in a decent resolution, from time to time I have had to recreate a clients logo for advertising use. These are all logos I have had to recreate over the years at insideSTL.
