I Made This: Friends of Dorothy Dinner Flyer (2003)

Designer/Illustrator: Gil Martinez
Technique: Vector

The Inn at Jaffrey Center, a popular restaurant and inn in southwestern New Hampshire, hosts an annual dinner to honor the GLBTQA community in the region. I designed the invitations, posters and flyers for this event until 2007. This sample is from 2003.

Here´s what my coleagues have to say about me:

The launch of TechSoup Canada would not have been the same without Gil's creative leadership. He transformed a rough idea--of showcasing the historical time-line of TechSoup Global during the launch of TechSoup Canada--into an exhibition.
The result of Gil's vision was a series of extraordinary, hand-crafted, perfectly displayed--posters.
All of the key stakeholders who attended the launch celebration were delighted by the exhibition, and we have plans to display Gil's art permanently at the TechSoup Global headquarters in San Francisco.

Gil is an experienced, talented, and detail-oriented art director and book designer.
Omegar Martinez, Translations Coordinator, Fondo de Cultura Económica

Gil Martinez was not only a creative and resourceful art director, he also brought wonderful enthusiasm and energy into the entire editorial group. He was probably one of the most liked colleagues by his peers I have known in my nearly 30 years at Yankee.
Mel Allen, Editor-in-chief, Yankee Magazine

Working with Gil was one of the best parts of the job. He is talented and creative, eager to tackle new challenges, and was always willing to take on additional work, even when it went beyond his job description. Even better, his broad education and life experience made him a knowledgeable resource on editorial matters. A true team player.
Amy Traverso, Food editor, Yankee Magazine

Gil is an innovative Art Director, with special strengths in Type Design and Direction of Photography with a modernist flair. He directs others well, and works to build a team that can create beautiful publications on a tight deadline -- and keep the budget in line as well. I have enjoyed working with him very much.
Susan Champeny, Art Director, IDG

Gil is an outstanding designer, has great creativity, and is a pleasure to work with. Good team player.
