Christmas Eve Promotion Piece.

I found out what the title of the Christmas Eve message was on Tuesday and was charged to get some promotion materials started so we can advertise. The title was "Where's Waldo". I took some 'creative license' with it and shifted to "what are you looking for this Christmas".

I searched the internets for some pics of kids peaking into boxes or sneaking around corners to spy on Santa. But when all was said and done, I came back to good ole' Waldo. Here it is.



Now, I have to submit this to the powers that be. I'm totally not sure what kinda promotion we're doing. It could be as simple as posters and PSAs or hand outs or a huge mailer. Each one may necessitate changing this. Or heck, it may just bee too tasteless with 'Buddy Jesus' to use. I'm a big fan of Buddy Jesus and apparently he thinks I'm ok (as evidenced by the thumbs up he's giving me every time I see him).

A note or two: I'm not a fan of the sub title being in helvetica. I think Santa needs some color correction to match the golden hue (and to set off waldo in contrast).

Latest Poster

I was tasked with creating a poster for the Crazy Clubhouse Christmas party for our elementary aged group. It was focused on ugly christmas sweaters and the person requesting the poster wanted someone in a bad Christmas sweater. There were not kid pics of such, so this is as close as I could find.


Clubhouse Christmas


Now this is disturbing. I have a 13"x19" poster of this up above my computer. The more I look at it, the more it makes me laugh/cringe. I have NO idea of the requestee will like it at all. As Jesse put it, "it's may be too heady". And it looks way too much like 'the 40 Year Old Virgin" promos that ran a few years ago. I think it also harkens to Glee so who knows. It may or may not fly. Either way, I'm perfectly cool with it.
