COVER STORY: Daymond John talks about his latest venture: Balance.
Cover art required me to color balance the original photo, add a sunburst and gradation in the background and glints of light and splash of color on Daymond's sunglasses. Removed sun glare on top of his head and added a glint on sunlight on his shoulders.

Working with Daymond John and his team was not only an extraordinary experience, Daymond's best people were highly accommodating and professional during the craziest of schedules;-)
COVER STORY: Joseph Coradino joined us for our Second Quarter Spring Edition with an honest discussion about PREIT, his failures and the big turnaround...and The Future of The Mall.
I had a lot of fun creating the spreads for this issue and contributed my first article on Personal Branding.
To really capture how Joe Cardino dresses, I changed his shirt to a pink shirt instead of the drab blue that clashed with his suit. Removed the wrinkles and smoothed out his waste line.

The Global Voice of Retail Chris Igwe, shares the latest trends.
Jane Symour shares her secret to longevity and health.
I have been working with Linda Johansen-James, publisher of International Retail since her first issue in the Winter of 2020 as we prepared her Jane Seymour issue for for the Spring of 2021.
Working closely with her editor Shannon Quilty, has become a labor of love.
I have to prep all spreads for both RGB digital format and a physical printed format in CMYK process colors to mail out to her list.
My favorite part is the digital illustration I bring to every cover.

I've been working with Max James for over 3 years now, building his one sheets, websites, speaker book, and much, much more. I control his brand image.
With that said, when he was was asked to be the cover story in Pivot Magazine, I created a cover as a comp to set the tone...little did I know that their designer would use my work exactly as you see above.

There was a lot of photo retouching on this cover for me. First I warmed up Max's skin tone, changed his shirt to lavender instead of an unflattering blue, and added a golden yellow hue to the background.
Then added a blue gradation to make the logo pop. I left it up to their designer to eliminate the blue and just have the background or use the blue as is.
