2001 Stanford Football Media Guide Cover
Rossman Art produced this media guide cover and poster in collaboration with Terry Smith Creations for Stanford University’s 2001 football season. A major purpose for this and other media guides is as a recruiting tool to new players. Media guide covers are often the first introduction for these potential All-Stars. Therefore, an identifiable and eye-catching image is paramount. This design captured that goal with a gladiator theme.

IBM Tape For Cloud Infographic
IBM storage commissioned the MSC to design an infographic that explained three major advantages that tape for cloud storage has over disk storage in the cloud. The folded tape is color coded to match the wording on the left. The graphic elements on the tape illustrate each of the main talking points in the infographic.
Jeff: I worked directly with the stakeholder as a member of IBM’s Creative Design Services team to produce this infographic for web and print media in vector format. Designed in Illustrator, this infographic can be exported to PDF for easy scaling and file sharing, and can be converted back into native file format for revisions or updates.

How to Do Everything with Second Life book cover
Rossman Art was given several guidelines to adhere to for designing the cover image on the front of this Second Life book cover. All areas outside the circle graphic had predefined colors, fonts, and placements to conform to the “How to Do Everything with” series of tutorial books. This required a freeform outline for the graphic to avoid extreme image cropping and a crowded look. See what the original cover illustration looks like here:(https://rossmanart.com/project/second-life-book-cover-illustration/)

Lightsource Studios presentation folder
Rossman Art designed and illustrated the Lightsource Studios presentation folder (reverse on the left, and front on the right) using Photoshop for image layers, Illustrator for text layers and border effects, and Quark for layout. The folder design accompanied a previous web site design incorporating similar headline elements in it. The branding and imagery on the folder comes from what Lighsource Studios does as an art studio:
Lightsource Studios

Picaxo Turnkey System Data Sheet
Rossman Art produced this Picaxo Turnkey System data sheet as informational material for distribution at trade shows for Pixo Arts Corporation. Photoshop and Quark were used to design the data sheet. I worked with a photographer to set up and photograph the system, produced the large format poster and color calibrated it with the Picaxo software. All of this was produced back in the late 90’s with analog photography, Photoshop 2.0, and Quark Xpress 4.0. There is mention of an optional Canon 5.1 megapixel digital camera in the data sheet (state of the art, but no equal to professional analog photography at the time).
