ISM 2005-2006 Annual Report cover: I selected an old map from our collection and treated it in Photoshop for this cover. I wanted something simple, but elegant and descriptive for this cover to make a potentially dry subject appear more interesting.

Expectations cover: For this science exhibit cover, I created a simple, but easily recognizable image. The CSI exhibit was potentially offensive to some readers, so this simple, non-gross cover made it palatable to readers of all tastes.

Muster on the Wabash ad: In addition to the museum, I support 13 State Historic Sites. This SHS event advertisement ran in a newspaper, so I used a bright spot color for attention and kept it clean and simple to avoid issues with registration.

Native American Days ad: For this SHS ad, I was given a few pieces of very detailed art, but the ad had to be quality in newsprint. I drew out and color-treated portions of the images that were descriptive and would read well when printed.
