Ron Magnes was commissioned to illustrate two fine art illustrations by a design firm for their client – PPL EnergyPlus. Since the energy company recently opened an office in Pittsburgh, the idea was to give the signed prints to their special prospective clients. The first print highlights the city and the second print shows the north shore. A very successful campaign!
Lately we have had several jobs arise that involved skylines of city buildings. As usual, we needed to submit samples in various styles for client approval. This particular sample was created by Ron Magnes for a photographic shoot and was submitted as a possible style for a new project. We will show those jobs that involve Pittsburgh in a future blog.
Clients are always looking for icons for various projects – here is a selection of icons in various styles that were created by Ron Magnes. Check his portfolio for more examples and view Ron’s web site – http://www.ronmagnes.com
A great sample page of vector art by Ron Magnes. This is a selection of client assignments that Ron has illustrated. There are times when a client needs info graphics for products and are interested in realism. Other samples can be seen in his portfolio.
It appears that several companies have re-introduced famous icons of their company that were very popular decades ago. This is a good example – H.J. Heinz Mr. Aristocrat Tomato Man! He was originally created in the 1930’s and our client had John create a new illustration very similar to the original to be used for various purposes. A classy guy!
George Schill created this sample sheet for clients to show different art techniques – most of these images were created for various jobs in the editorial and greeting card markets. Check his portfolio for more examples and various conceptual illustrations for the corporate and advertising markets.
Direct Energy had a workshop/conference in which (28) corporations/companies/ universities were invited. Ron Magnes was commissioned to create their logos in a Warhol “pop art” style and the participants were given the framed logos at the end of the event. Great idea and a fun project! Here are more of the logos that Ron created.
George Schill was commissioned to create a cover and six illustrations for the Cash America International Annual Report. The first image is the cover and the others are examples of three inside illustrations. The client came up with a group of themes for the art – Customers, Innovation, Difference, Team, Image, and Shareholders and after George provided color concept sketches and the usual revisions all of the art was submitted in digital format. The client was extremely happy with the results and also with George’s conceptual ideas and expertise!
George has been providing award winning conceptual art for years for the advertising, corporate, and editorial markets. He is extremely conceptual in coming up with ideas to solve the needs of clients. His illustrations are created digitally in Photoshop and at times creates acrylic paintings on canvas that are converted into Photoshop files.
