Project: Visual Marketing collateral
Process: Off the Grid is a company that provides areas around the Bay Area for food trucks to set up on a weekly calendar. I created marketing material by documenting all of their markets in the bay area, all special events.

Project: Mayoral Campaign Reelection Art
Process: Tom Bates was up for his third election as the Mayor of Berkeley, CA, working with Tom and his staff I created the mayors reelection art for his 2012 campaign. To recreate a number of key elements of his campaign, we toured around Berkeley and captured photos of Tom interacting with the community, business owners, students and families.
Result: Web and print ready reelection campaign art and a successful reelection.
Here are the framed and Matted photos that will be at the show
