Client Sample Page by George Schill
From time to time clients sometimes request an artist sample page to use in a meeting or presentation to help sell a style. This is a recent example that George Schill quickly put together for a client meeting. The idea was to show a few “style” examples that were conceptual in nature. All images were past commissioned projects and helped the client sell their idea.

Direct Energy had a workshop/conference in which (28) corporations/companies/ universities were invited.

Here are more of the logos that Ron created.
Cash America Annual Report by George Schill
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!
Technical Art by Ron Magnes
It doesn’t happen often but at times a client needs a technical illustration. Ron Magnes is very adept at taking technical information and coming up with an informative illustration that explains a process or diagram that can be easily understood by the reader. Recently a client needed an illustration of a water treatment plant to be used in a brochure for the PPG Marine Coatings Division. This is the final technical illustration that Ron created for the brochure.
