Chicago Wedding & Party Resource magazine
Following are editions of Chicago Wedding & Party Resource — a bi-annual, 4-color perfect-bound magazine that I designed and produced for Performance Media. I laid out the cover and articles using stock photography and content marketing agency articles, as well as some advertisements. Editions focus on the Pantone color of the year.

I established the in-house desktop publishing facility for this scientific and technical software catalog, and was responsible for all catalog, marketing, and advertising design and production.

In addition I created advertising and direct mail pieces for clients such as Microsoft.
