Ozarka Water & Coffee : Outdoor Board : Great Human Achievements Campaign

Commissioned by Ozarka Water & Coffee to create a series of billboards that would reflect not only humanity’s manifest destiny and it’s desire to continually strive to be greater than what we are, but that at its core, the building blocks of our greatest achievements, from constructing the Great Sphinx to reaching for the stars, begin and end with the very building block of life itself: water.

The Schwartz's : Direct Mail Postcard : Annual July 4th Fireworks Party Invitation

Originally, the idea was to print on an actual matchbook. But feasibly and pyrotechnically, it wasn’t going to happen. This designer’s favorite part of the design: Navy, the Schwartz's golden retriever, swimming on the panel beneath the matches.
