'It's McGee For May!' Branding
McGee Automotive Family, known for their catchy slogan "It's McGee For Me!", decided to add a creative twist to their marketing campaign during May, focusing on a used vehicle sales event. I devised the slogan "It's McGee For May!" as a playful play on words derived from their original slogan. To enhance the branding experience, I designed social graphics, as well as web and email banners in various sizes.
McGee Family Used Cars Vector Portrait
The goal of this project was to craft a detailed and visually accurate vector portrait of the McGee Family Used Cars building. Using various techniques, I aimed to recreate the building's structure and design to align with the original reference image.
Stony Knoll Bison Sign Redesign
My brother reached out to me to help in redesigning the sign for a family Bison Farm in upstate New York. I wanted to keep all the main elements of the image while making the text more legible.
'McGee Home Delivery' Campaign Example
The main objective of this campaign was to highlight McGee Automotive Family's Home Delivery option. However, a significant challenge arose when ensuring consistent messaging across all McGee brands while still adhering to the unique brand guidelines set by each OEM. Each design also had to be adapted to different sizes to work across a variety of social outlets and websites.
Printed Media Examples

VIDEOS & MOTION GRAPHICS
Chocolate Milk at the Indianapolis 500
Taking on the role of the sole videographer for a weekend of filming presented me with the challenging task of capturing footage in a fast-paced and unpredictable environment. Complicating matters further, I had to manage and record multiple wireless microphones in a noisy setting. This required me to be highly attentive and adaptable, ensuring that I could capture the desired shots while maintaining clear audio quality amidst the surrounding noise.
