Another postcard

This time, the postcard is to advertise my promotional photos. Front and back are below…

Home plate

I had a good day yesterday. Someone gave me tickets to see the Blue Jays game, so I took Dad with me. It brought back memories of Dad taking the family to see the game. Of course, back then, the Blue Jays actually had a fighting chance of winning. These days, the odds aren’t so good. Although the seats were great–about 20 rows behind home plate–the Jays managed to lose. After the game, we walked up to Chinatown to meet James and Susan for a delicious dinner.

I’ve been thinking about marketing a lot lately. The next step is to get these postcards printed. I’ve finished the first design and sent it off to the printer. These cards advertise headshots, and will be printed on glossy card stock, color on both sides. I’m looking forward to seeing the results.

Sell sheet

I had a meeting yesterday with an art director who designs several local magazines. They’re pretty classy magazines, and nicely designed, so I’d love the chance to shoot for them. Anyway, I wanted to leave him with some examples of my work, so I designed this little one-off sell sheet to give to him.

This one is just meant to be very general, so I don’t think it’s too effective on its own, but I think it gives an idea of what kind of commercial work I do. I’m planning to make postcards to advertise headshots, and another one for promo photos for bands and performers.
