It All Starts Somewhere

As I begin to post my work up on this blog, I figured I would start with some of the early stuff. Texas Creative was a great portfolio school that stressed concept over everything else. We weren't even allowed to touch computers until you could handle a concept. It was these concepts that I really latched onto. That is where I got the passion for creative advertising. The ads you see here were created during my second year in the Texas Creative program. I came back to them after I graduated because my skills had developed a bit on the computer, and I didn't have a job yet. I worked on them and work on them. I borrowed all my equipment (thanks Paul), probably longer than I should have (sorry Paul). I would buy things to shoot as backgrounds and turnaround and return it later in the week. I happened to live across from a mall in Austin, so I kind of treated it as my own work shop. But enough about the back story. I will always look back at these ads with a sense of nostalgia. Shit I am only 2 years into the industry, but it seems so long ago. I hope you enjoy.
