Photoshop is fun!

This is my first great effort with Photoshop. I've very much enjoyed creating this promotional poster for the musical version of Treasure Island as directed by Marc Navez. This production is being put on as Marc's senior project as he is graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theater.

As for the design of the poster itself, I took the background photo on a cruise in Greece, and the cast photos were taken during a rehearsal prior to the show. The basic layout was designed according to specifications from Marc, and all individual edits were made using Adobe Photoshop CS4.

This project has helped me realize how much I enjoy mixed media photography and promotion design. If you have any upcoming events or projects that need to be advertised, feel free to contact me, as I would love to do more of this sort of thing!

Clocks of Munich

This is the clock tower that houses the famous Rathaus-Glockenspiel of Munich, Germany.
Each day at 11am, a parade of life-sized figurines dance in a merry-go-round fashion
depicting a wedding party and a joust.

How about a little Perspective?

It's not so big.

A piece of art in New York City. The hole in the center goes all the way through
and provides an impressive view of the sky-scraper behind it. Maybe I can find a
copy of the picture Marc is taking in this shot :)

Just how big is Paris? The is a stunning view from the top of the Eiffel Tower.

A Sucker for Sunsets

I cannot get enough sunsets. There is an unequivocal brilliance that radiates from each and every sunset on this Earth. I took this photo from a train just outside of Paris, France in Aug 2008.

This photo was taken in Eastern Utah, near the Flaming Gorge Dam. I'm always thrilled when there is visible division in the sun's rays as shown in this photo. The division is subtle in this picture, but I still like it :)
