Comprehensive design of Texas REALTOR magazineHaving designed more than 110 issues of Texas REALTOR®, I redesigned and updated this trade publication to keep it engaging. I designed the entire publication and created photo narratives for significant events.Front end developer and user interface designerTexasRealtorsConference.com case study: The Texas Association of REALTORS® was finding it difficult to engage new attendees to their annual conference and to encourage registrations. I created a responsive design, which in its first week saw 3,004 distinct visitors with over 22,140 views. Each visitor spent an average of five minutes on the site. Additionally, they experienced the highest registration numbers they have seen.Design brochures, print collateral, tradeshow materials, and exhibit spacesMy experience at the Texas Association of REALTORS® enabled me to create a variety of materials that include educational materials, print campaigns, forms, calendars using my landscape photography, promotional fliers, and in-depth booklets explaining legislative successes. My designs often were used as templates for our design team to build successive versions and for similar project uses.Lead photographerAside from technical aspects, composition defines the effectiveness of photos. When I create landscape and event photographs, I take extra steps needed to position and frame my subjects with maximum impact. Especially with event photography, I anticipate action and the resulting moment that will define a well composed image. I also worked hard to develop a rapport with my subjects, building trust so they knew I would strive to make them appear their best.Distinctly Texas permanent exhibitTo modernize the Texas Association of REALTORS® office, I created 30 large 6’x4’ plexiglass pieces showcasing my photography from around Texas. The material choice gave the modern look and worked well with the photo choices.
