ADVERTISING
client: Casco Bay Brewing project: full page print ad The idea behind this campaign was to showcase the admiration a beer lover has for his favorite beer. Besides, whats more fun than figuring out how to hang beer bottles from a clothesline?
www.crankcreative.com
01
client: Casco Bay Brewing project: full page print ad The second in the campaign, pushing the idea that the beer lover wants his beer close and accessible. Not to mention part of the daily routine.
02
client: Casco Bay Brewing project: full page print ad The third in the campaign, really showing off how a beer lover reveres his brew. Talk about a nasty photo shoot. I cant stand the smell of deviled eggs fresh, let alone after sitting under the lights for a couple hours.
03
client: Casco Bay Brewing project: full page print ad The fourth and final for this campaign. What better use for a washing machine, huh?
04
client: Casco Bay Brewing project: full page print ad The idea behind this second campaign was to just have fun. Coming up with bizarre little stories and then connecting that story to beer at the last moment.
05
client: Casco Bay Brewing project: full page print ad The second of the campaign. If only dogs could buy beer.
06
client: Casco Bay Brewing project: full page print ad The third of the campaign. Elvis. Enough said.
07
client: Casco Bay Brewing project: full page print ad The fourth and final. A little lesson in social interaction.
08
client: Brown Goldsmiths project: Small space ads Smart, simple and elegant was the idea here. But at the same time, a sense of humor.
09
client: Brown Goldsmiths project: Small space ads Second in the campaign. If only it were that easy.
10
client: Brown Goldsmiths project: Small space ads Third in the campaign.
11
client: Brown Goldsmiths project: Small space ads Fourth in the campaign. The truth revealed.
12
client: Federal Spice Restaurant project: small space newspaper ads Steve, the owner of Federal Spice wanted to do advertising that had the same attitude as he felt his restaurant had. Careful what you ask for.
13
client: Federal Spice Restaurant project: small space newspaper ads Second in the campaign. A little drop ill do ya.
14
client: Federal Spice Restaurant project: small space newspaper ads Number three. The restaurant actually got some press with this one. Someone actually wrote a letter to the editor of Maine Biz, complaining about the self-righteousness of this ad. The owner was thrilled.
15
client: Federal Spice Restaurant project: small space newspaper ads The fourth in this campaign. A little compliment goes a long way.
16
client: Zodiac Shoes project: Half page trade ads Zodiac returned to the shoe industry with this campaign after restructuring their company and focusing on womens shoes. Yes, those are actual shoes. Kids today.
17
client: Zodiac Shoes project: Half page trade ads Remember that whole Duran Duran boot craze? Well, these guys invented that look, and with the return of Zodiac to the shoe industry, they updated the boot that started it all.
18
client: Zodiac Shoes project: Half page trade ads Nothing says love like a wood-sole shoe.
19
client: Aurora Quanta Productions project: Half page ads Aurora created a new way for independent photographers to sell their photography as stock without having to make a deal with the devil. This campaign helped them make that point in a fun and visually interesting way. Another challenge was we could only use photography from their bank of stock photos. Sometimes working in a little tiny box yields some great results.
20
client: Aurora Quanta Productions project: Half page ads Public service announcement, or smart ass art director? You be the judge.
21
client: Aurora Quanta Productions project: Half page ads When you come across a photo of a half-shorn sheep, its impossible to pass it up.
22
client: Barber Foods project: Full page trade advertising Targeted to buyers in mid-level restaurants, Barber wanted to show their consistency in product. To be able to that in the food service industry without actually showing the product was a beautiful thing.
23
client: Stock Food project: half page ads Another stock photo agency, with again another challenge of using only photos in their archive. What they really wanted to show was the depth and unexpected variety of their photos.
24
client: Stock Food project: half page ads A face only a mother could love.
25
client: Stock Food project: half page ads Kinda makes you want to look into that whole vegetarian thing, doesnt it?
26
client: Stock Food project: half page ads mmmm, raw meat.
27

36
LOGOS
client: The Step Guys project: logo These guys make pre-cast concrete steps. You know, the ones you see anchoring mobile homes down during a strong wind. Nothing like a construction workers butt crack to make yourself stand out in a crowd.
