Saint James: The Art Direction Portfolio Blog of James Phillips

2009-01-06T22:04:40Z

Hello

I'm James and you're viewing my Art Direction Portfolio Blog. This blog contains agency work as well as work done in school and for fun.

So, now you're asking, "What the heck is an art direction portfolio blog?"

It's a place where I can house my work as well as information about each piece and easily update it as often as I like (and if you know how often I change my hairstyle, then you know how well this works for me). Plus, blogging makes me look cool. I also encourage (respectable) feedback in comments to each posting.

I am currently an Art Director at Ryan Partnership, a full service interactive promotions/marketing agency. I work mainly on Wrigley brands including Extra, Extra Fruit Sensations, Eclipse and 5 gum. I also do work on brands for S.C. Johnson which include Oust, Ziploc and Edge Shaving Gel.

My resumé is below and references are available upon request. Click the image twice to view full size.

You can email me directly if you have any questions. I also have a profile on LinkedIn.

Enjoy!

Proud To Run 2009

2009-01-05T19:01:11Z

For Pro-Bono work, I offered to help redesign several elements for Chicago's Proud To Run 5k/10k. This included a redesign of their logo as well as several local ads and miscellaneous print pieces. The race starts June 27, 2009. It is the 28th annual race for PTR as one of the largest LGBT races in the nation.

Hubba Bubba and Monsters vs. Aliens

2009-01-05T18:50:56Z

Dreamworks' new film Monsters vs. Aliens, which debuts in March 2009, is the new movie partner for Hubba Bubba Bubble Tap and Max Gum. We have offered kids a chance to "Ginormousize" their day entering into our Monsteriffic contest. Kids can win a huge day that includes a huge hummer, huge hotel room, and huge prizes. Everything is oversized, just like Bubble Tape's six feet of fun gum and Max bricks.

Extra Fruit Sensations at Champs Sporting Stores

2008-07-07T22:33:30Z

These pieces were developed as tent cards to be placed in Champ's Sporting Stores to accompany point of sale sampling. The idea was to convey Extra's positioning of "Long Lasting Fruit Flavor" in a sports environment using the design template previously created by DDB. Tent cards will be in-store beginning in September.

ROCK ON with Extra Fruit Sensations and 3 Doors Down

2008-07-07T21:49:15Z

Below are pieces I executed for the launch of Wrigley's new Extra Fruit Sensations and the Rock On promotion with Live Nation and the band 3 Doors Down for their 2008 summer tour. The idea was based around Extra's positioning of "Long Lasting Fruit Flavor" that "Makes the Music Last Longer." Consumers were driven to web where they could enter to win a VIP trip to see the band live and meet them backstage.

Creative was developed for an ad in Blender magazine as well as a brand microsite, web banners and a 30 second video from scratch animation to be shown on Wrigley TriVision billboards and Live Nation venue screens. (Which I will have for posting in the next week).

Microsite Tour Map:

This map will go live on the Extra brand website in mid-July. As the tour progresses, fans can roll over each city the band has played to view photos of the concert. They can also view a full tour schedule and enter the contest.

These are promotional pieces and advertisements done for S.C. Johnson brands from February 2007 to present. Brands include Ziploc, Oust and Edge.

MasterCard: Promotional; March 07–Dec. 07

2008-07-07T17:47:06Z

These are elements that were executed for MasterCard's Joy of Giving Holiday promotion.

The logo below was used on all print materials. The client changed the name of the promotion halfway through it's life-span and added the word "Over" to the front, which was used for the television spot.

The "Mine and Yours" concept was created by James Phillips and Margo Gremmler at Ryan Partnership. This idea was later translated by another agency into the promotional television spot. (The other agency never thanked us...)
