I’ve been working with Full Throttle Marketing in Monterey California since November of 2009. Below are some examples of the kind of design work I create for Molly and her team.

Web coupon for Mercedes-Benz.

This coupon was one of two designs I created for Mercedes-Benz financing promotion.   Not a bad deal, eh? 

_ Print Ad for Stahl Mercedes-Benz.

Stahl Mercedes-Benz was looking for a new ad style to promote the S400 Hybrid Sedan. The image was supplied by Mercedes-Benz and I had to do only a little bit of photo/layout manipulation to make it look like it fit.

Curactin is a brand of skin care products developed by Daniel Pry, Organic Complexion in Bellingham, WA.  Daniel recently asked me to come up with a branding/identity for the product and below is what I created for him.

Curactin Package Design Curactin Package Design
The label design was created using Adobe Illustrator.  All artwork is vectorized.

Interesting side note:
Daniel was heading to L.A. for a television production of the Curactin line of products and his shipment of printed tubes was held up.  In order to get him samples for the shoot, I was able to print and apply pressure sensitive vinyl graphics over some of his other products packaging.  The photo on the left is the actual mocked up package.  No retouching was done to this image aside from black/white levels.

I can easily create mock-up versions of packaging that looks nearly identical to the real thing.  Oh yeah,  this mock-up packaging project was completed in 3 days.

Recently I was asked to create the identity for the Bellingham Glove Company. This project included the brand logo, product development, packaging and retail display kits.  Also included in this project is an interactive website that is currently under construction.

bgclogo Bellingham Glove Company Logo
Logo created with Adobe Illustrator CS3.
bgcimprint Bellingham Glove Company
Each glove needed to be imprinted with the Bellingham Glove Logo. This mechanics glove included a velcro wrist closure which created a great location for the imprint. The “imprint” is actually a raised rubber outline of the “b” portion of the logo. Other gloves like the full leather version have the outline burned into the leather.
bgctags Bellingham Glove Company Tags
The Bellingham Glove line of products includes 14 glove styles for different applications. I needed to come up with a family look for the tag design while still allowing the gloves to have their own identity. Since the gloves are a mix of men’s and women’s models, the color choice for each tag was determined by testing preferences from groups of men and women.
bgc4001 Bellingham Glove Company – 4001
Originally called the “Polar Guard” we recently had to change the name of this glove to the 4001. (The glove model number – decide while I was absent, ugh) At any rate, this glove is super bright and actually doesn’t display very well. Bellingham Glove Company needed a tag that suggested that this glove was for cold weather. “Polar Guard” took care of most of that, but the “4001″ doesn’t really come across the same way. QUE THE ARTWORK! Definitely makes you feel cold enough to buy the brightest gloves you can.
