UTL vs. Fake Event Posters

Here are some posters I made for my portfolio near the end of my time at CSU Long Beach. They were created on my own time when I was trying to fill my portfolio with work that was less clean and more edgy than what I was making in class.

(Paul R. Brown does a lot of great packaging for the
hard rock/heavy metal industry. Particularly Marilyn Manson.)

OXO Can Opener


(Push Button Release)

(Hardened Steel Blades)

These are two spreads I created in an advertising class at CSU, Long Beach. They are for an OXO can opener with a locking handle. We had to choose either an iron or a can opener to advertise, it was a pretty tough assignment and as a class we went through 100s of comps. I went for a clean look that mimics the product line and a little bit of humor.
