Dark Wings Promotional Poster
This image represents the promotional/movie release poster envisioned for the release of Black River Films first feature-length documentary – Dark Wings: The Mothman Chronicle.  Besides working on the artwork and design layout it was my responsibility to secure the quotes and endorsements from individuals who had been privy to an early screening of the film.
 
 
 
Dark Wings Teaser/Slick
Another project undertaken for Black River Films and Dark Wings was this teaser/slick depicting Chief Cornstalk and the infamous historic battle known as Lord Dunmore’s War. This particular re-enactment plays a pivotal role in the history behind the documentary.
 
 
 

Efron Computerized Studios (ECS) Promotional Slick
In 2001, ADVANTURE Media acquired Las Vegas-based Efron Computerized Studios as a marketing and public relations client.  Our first undertaking was the development of a promotional slick which was premiered during the 2001 National Association of Broadcasters’ Conference in Las Vegas.  This slick served as both a promotional tool as well as an invitation to a private demonstration of the Efron Computerized Studio which was conducted at the exclusive Chameleon Studios in Las Vegas over the course of the NAB Conference.

 
 
 

Full Page advertisement for Kingdom Come Scenic Parkway
While still managing ADVANTURE Media, we directly oversaw the marketing and public relations endeavors on behalf of the Kingdom Come Scenic Parkway which consisted of The Benham School House Inn; Portal 31 Mine Tour; Kentucky Coal Museum; and Sleepy Hollow Golf Course.  This image represents the full-page ad designed and placed in numerous newspapers and magazines in Kentucky and Ohio.  This design won our firm the Kentucky Tourism’s Traverse Award in 2000.

 
 
 

Kingdom Come Scenic Parkway Billboard Design
To persist with a theme of continuity in the advertising image of the Kingdom Come Scenic Parkway, we oversaw the design of  a billboard that would incorporate their logo (the maple leaf) as the main image but allow for different messages along the bottom ¼ of the board.  This space would be used to highlight a different attraction each quarter.
