.: Advertising Storyboards: TARGET

Advertising Storyboards: TARGET

A long time ago, it was suggested that I produce storyboards for my portfolio that showcased the various ways I was able to deliver them because I apparently didn't have enough to show clients. I had done all forms of black & white and color frames already, but I couldn't show them to clients because of the non-disclosure contracts I had signed.

Waiting for the commercials I worked on to air so I could finally show my work was preventing me from getting work! What a catch-22. Frustrating.

So I decided to produce a sample storyboard based upon a Target commercial that had already aired, breaking up the boards into sections:

- Black & White Pen & Ink

- Graytone Markers

- Color Markers

- Photoshop

I'm happy to say these boards did the trick. I immediately got work from clients who could finally see that I had the capability to do whatever they needed. These boards still hold up pretty well, so I thought I'd present them here. They demonstrate that I can work in any kind of format the client might require.

Nowadays, I no longer work in markers. I do all my graytones and color work in Photoshop.
