ESPN Events Celebration Bowl 2022 Program Book — this 64-page book accompanied 2022's Celebration Bowl, a yearly championship football game between rival HBCU athletic conferences. (The Celebration Bowl has become a pretty big deal in the Atlanta area). I have been honored to work on several of these program books. Typically, the client and I work closely together on these projects over 3 weeks; due to playoff game scheduling, we learn the identity of the 2nd team/university about 4.5 days before the book goes to press — a tight deadline to lay out almost half the book. For this one (2022), I worked from supplied theme art to conceptualize and design a thematically cohesive look for the interior pages and the front cover.

Carrot-Top 2023 full Catalog — I have worked on previous iterations of this 48-page, information-dense catalog, but I inherited this one in-progress, when it needed QR codes added to every page before heading to press in 5 days. Adding the codes required modifying the layouts of almost every page. Additional time for other extensive changes was also required, as well as time for client review. The project went to press on time, with all the modifications made.

ESPN Events Celebration Bowl 2018 Sales Booklet — this 20-page booklet was designed to present the Celebration Bowl HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) championship football game to organizations and corporations and to generate excitement and financial support. The client requested a "diamond" theme and supplied the front cover art.
