Typographic, Illustration and photographic exploration while developing a pitch for NBC Universal's G4 network.
The brief was to transform their failing network originally created for gamers and geeks into a channel for “The Modern Man.”

Identity design • Campaign design
Portland Meadows race track has been a staple in Portland since 1946, but almost no one really knew about it. If they did, they thought it was a dog track,
or that it had closed. When they came to the OFFICIAL MFG. CO. for help it was a last ditch effort to spark interest in not only the track, but into horse racing in general.
Aside from being involved in the initial concepting and branding of the new Portland Meadows, I had a hand in 99% of the print collateral you see here.
Infographic design
As the Portland Meadows rebrand advanced I had the opportunity to dive into refreshing some old graphics that existed in past race day programs.
Although the information remains dense I wrangled it into a cleaner, more intelligible and intuitive format. In doing so I also learned a few things
about placing bets at the track.
