Gallery ~ Retail & Tourism
My career began in a very fast-paced newspaper environment (creativity under deadlines); I worked at the Syracuse Newspapers for several years, which gave me an opportunity to develop materials for a wide array of retailers & service-providers... from stand-alone ads to special sections & glossy printed tourism books for nearby destinations. Here are a few favorites from my "newspaper days" and beyond.
