Caesars Entertainment Casino • Paul D Residency: BEFORE & AFTER

Harrah's Resort, Pool After Dark, featured Pauly D. Performing throughout 2012, I was responsible for creating Pauly D's brand for the Pool.
Given original head shots of Pauly, I transformed his clothing and combined his image with a property photo. For a club feel, note the light treatments, smoke and Pool After Dark signature blue tones. The brand creative was used for on site property events and print material
was seen throughout ads, billboards, posters, banners, plasmas, direct mail, invites and more.

Caesars Entertainment Restaurant Revolution • Master Chef Portrait: BEFORE & AFTER

We started with a photo-shoot featuring seven Master Chefs. I was asked to revise the photo by making it formal. I deleted the kitchen,
created a background. I added shadows, highlights, reflections, as well as TWO additional chefs. I setup a chef photo-shoot on the
A.C. Boardwalk and using photoshop, superimposed chefs from The Reserve & Mia's. Creative was used for posters, banners,
lightfaces & direct mail. Featured on the A.C. Expressway, Black Horse & White Horse Turnpikes and more.

as well as used in ads, billboards, posters, banners, plasmas, direct mail, invites and more.

Hampton Luxury Liner Wrap  •  Harrah's Resort Casino

 Using a featured property photo, of private cabanas, hot tubs and pool, I was assigned to create this luxury liner wrap.

 I had to manipulate the photo by extending width, doubling elements, increasing pool size, photo retouching and creating highlights
plus shadows. This tropical photo was used in ads, billboards, posters, banners, plasmas, direct mail and invites.
