I designed a weekly print advertisement campaign for The New York Times, produced for Jacob Collins (2015), a solo exhibition of landscapes, still lifes, and portraits held at Adelson Galleries, New York, April 28 through May 30, 2015.

Scope of Work

  • Design of a weekly print advertisement campaign for The New York Times.
  • Coordination with the publisher on placement and production specifications.
  • Image preparation for print use.

Advertisement Deliverables

A print advertisement campaign was designed for The New York Times, running weekly over the course of the exhibition with four distinct versions, each drawing on a different work from the show. I coordinated with the publisher on placement and production specifications to ensure quality.

The series shares a consistent typographic and layout language, establishing a recognizable identity for the campaign from week to week while allowing each version to feature its own painting. This approach suited the cadence of the paper's format and kept the campaign legible at a glance amid surrounding editorial content.
