Project: New Products BookletClient: SP Richards

Theme: San Diego Zoo

New Products Brochures: Each year when products are accepted by wholesalers to be placed in their catalogs, I put together a brochure for use by their sales staff to highlight the new offerings. The idea is to be creative and eye-catching in an otherwise conservative industry.

Scope: SP Richard’s has an annual trade show where Safco introduces new product offerings. In this case the show took place in San Diego, so I went with a zoo theme in keeping with the show.

Project: New Products BookletClient: United Stationers

Theme: Working in Harmony

Scope: United Stationers has for years been Safco’s largest customer. The book representing their new products is therefore larger, and the musical theme was again meant to add some excitement to some otherwise simple office furniture offerings.

Project: New Products BookletClient: Staples

Theme: De-Stressing The Work Environment

Scope: A recurring theme in these brochures is “comfort.” Safco’s tag line is “Creating Your Comfort Zone.” I chose swirling graphics in soft blues and greens in this case to communicate the message.

Project: Mini BookClient: Safco Products

Theme: Natural Nirvana

Scope: NeoCon is the Office Product industry’s biggest annual product show. Safco has its own show room in Chicago for the event. The mini book is used at NeoCon and then throughout the year at trade shows to highlight all of its product offerings. The mini book is a smaller, abbreviated version of the full line catalog.

Theme: Abstract

Scope: In developing new and innovative ideas for our mini book, I created this fun look that incorporated some line drawings and contemporary colors. This design was an even more abbreviated version of previous years’ mini books.

Project: Trifecta BrochureClient: Safco Product Manager

Theme: Keep the World Beautiful

Scope: This brochure was used to introduce a new line of triangular waste receptacles. I went with a triangle theme for my first attempt (see slide after next) but the manager was looking for something similar to other designs I had created incorporating natural elements.

The inside of this brochure was used to highlight the different configurations available for this product. We actually had 3 cans available to shoot and I used Photoshop to color correct them and put them together.

Scope: This ad was placed in a Staples Catalog to introduce our new line of “metro” seating. I used Photoshop to put them in a performance setting as a band. This drew visual attention to the ad, which was our goal. I designed this ad and wrote the tag lines.

Scope: Using Photoshop, I created the image in this ad to introduce a new line of chairs named “metro.” I designed the ad to be a little less flashy than the one to the right since it was being placed in the more conservative United Stationers catalog.
