The first challenge was to provide a treatment for the famous logo.	The second challenge was to incorporate the cover from their new catalog.	Of course they have lots of product photography, some of it low resolution. All I had to do was make them float over the background.

Their wonderful art department was extremely cooperative in providing the elements I needed.	In 2000 I was able to "borrow" some elements from their web page and only had to add the 2K to the logo treatment I had used previously.	Again, the images, including the background, came from their web page. So all I had to do was make the background tiled and deal with the quirks of each image.

The Show Department:

For this project, designing the theme graphic for the Better Boys Foundation Mackey Awards dinner, I had the opportunity to work with my wonderful friend and illustrator Ina Rubloff. At my direction, Ina drew everything in pieces and then I assembled the final image in PhotoShop. Needless to say, the final image was the result of a committee effort at BBF.	This project was quite a challenge as the theme was set and all I had to do was put together a sales awards presentation to be shown on the curved screen at a OmniMax theatre in Dallas, TX. Again working with Ina (she drew and colored circles which I then processed in PhotoShop to create the planets). This was a short turn around project.	One of the challenges was deciding on the illustrations to accompany the different awards. Little space ships for individuals, big ones for regional awards, etc. This one was Ina's idea and my favorite.

This was one of those "easy" projects where everything is provided. Of course what was provided was an Illustrator file for a vertical poster. So all I had to do was make it horizontal, include all elements, and reduce the resolution so it wouldn't bog down PowerPoint.	This was the other part of the "easy" project. The client provided a one inch wide fax of a logo for this fictitious company (used as an example during one of the presentations) and "just" needed it big on the screen.


I was hired to create and execute on-site a PowerPoint show for Motorola's patent awards banquet. I was given the Illustrator files used for the invitation which I had to adapt for use as the theme slide and speaker support background. The aquatic theme came from the event being held at Shedd Aquarium. Jump forward a couple of years and the event was at the Museum of Science and Industry and I had match the printed invitations graphics from supplied Photoshop files.
