Anita Cochran Benefit Concert
My friend and old boss from Country Weekly, Lisa Konicki, asked me to design a poster to promote a fundraising benefit concert for professional guitarist Anita Cochran. Anita had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017.
It was a great honor to contribute to this event. The copy of the printed poster that I have was signed by all of the amazing artists that performed at the show.
Anita is a cancer survivor and is back performing again. She released the song “Fight Like a Girl” about her battle with cancer and continues to work to help others fight cancer.
Country Weekly Magazine
My work at Country Weekly is primarily related to the website, but I frequently have the opportunity to collaborate with the Art Director on design critique, technical problem solving and even helping meet tight production deadlines by designing page layouts.
Nashville Starz Ballroom Dance Competition
This popular and growing Nashville dance competition occurs every year in January and is attended by competitive professional and amateur dancers from all over the country.
I have designed several printed elements for this event: saddle-stitch booklet with details about the upcoming show, program book elements, ads for ballroom-focused magazines and websites, a promotional poster and more.
iMARK Tradeshow Signs
iMARK is a sister company of AccuCut. These eight foot tall signs were created for the iMARK booth at professional photography tradeshows.
Halloween
This seasonal book was created by Chip Davis to complement an album of Mannheim Steamroller Halloween music. I was responsible for the design of the book interior including some illustrations.
Halloween Flyer
A custom die cut and fun graphics made this B-to-B promotional for the Halloween book a fun project.
