The Sill Ads

These ads were created after researching The Sill, a charming plant company started in NYC where one can purchase plants and even set up a subscription to receive a different plant per month. The goal of this ad series is to isolate the plant/person relationship and achieve a buzz around buying plants from The Sill. I wanted to focus on the vast psychological benefits that plants can provide for human beings.

Chicago Cultural Center Pamphlet

The Chicago Cultural Center is an historic landmark in downtown Chicago. It houses the city's official reception venue where the Mayor of Chicago has welcomed Presidents and royalty, diplomats and community leaders. It is one of the city's most popular attractions and is considered one of the most comprehensive arts showcases in the United States.

Baggu Magazine Ads

Baggu.com is an online store that creates reusable bags, pouches, cases, hats, accessories, home goods and masks. They make sure that the materials that they use are sustainable and recycled, and they are focused on minimal waste design. I took three photos of a Baggu bag that I own and turned them into magazine ads for the brand. I was influenced by their website and made some of my choices to reflect that.
