Jack W. Marvin | Portfolio - Magazine Ads

I was called upon for all significant commercial or production artwork. In addition, I was included in corporate "brainstorming" sessions. Often I made suggestions on reducing cost and increasing effectiveness of promotional campaigns.

To be quite honest, sometimes I would hang-out with the "boys" on the weekend just for fun, and have a few beers.

Specific Duties:

Logo Digitizing
Photo Retouching
Trademark Logo Design
Production Artwork
DVD Cover Layout / Design
Board Stencils and Decals Manufacturing

Featured in the designs are professional surf celebrities Archy and Gavin.

Southern California Surf Culture
One of the things about living in Southern California (near the beach), is that you're bound to meet celebrities and professional athletes!
