When freelancing I sometimes take on other tasks. In this case, I was doing cold call ad sales for an entertainment weekly magazine for a short time when I moved to a new city and was told by the president of the publication that I was the highest cold call sales rep in their ten year history. That was back in early 2005. Having a music entertainment background and being a design professional gave me an edge, earning the respect of those I targeted. Building theme pages helped to close the deal every time.     https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5787e4b5f5e2316ad3b281bc/1473732175350-V607IE3LTWN8R6U00K0A/_0000_dave-kerzner-ad.png not used   Here is an ad that I created for Dave Kerzner's New World release.

They were set on the wax seal and so I pulled elements from the crown moulding at Lister Block to incorporate into the design.       https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5787e4b5f5e2316ad3b281bc/1469083955386-AMM2BIT03KJESAAONS2M/logo-designs-B_0003_Matrix-Marketing.png not used   I designed this for Matrix Marketing Concepts many moons ago.
