I Made This: Yankee Magazine Birds of New England premium (2004)

Art Director: Leonard Loria
Designer: Gil Martinez
Illustrator: Birds: Erick Ingraham, all others: Gil Martinez, RGD

This poster is part of a series of seasonal guides Yankee Magazine distributed during 2004 and 2005. All fronts were illustrated by Erick Ingraham, while the backs were put together with stock photo and illustrations I made. The first photo displays the poster the way it looked when folded and attached to the magazine on the newsstand.

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.
Donnie Claudinho, Marketing Manager, TechSoup Canada

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.
