Austria Map (2007)

Illustrator: Gil Martinez
Technique: Vector

From time to time I make maps for textbooks. This one shows the growth and development of the Austrian empire, and was done for Editorial SM, a Mexican Publisher of textbooks. It is a good example of my ability to organize a lot of information in a small space.

Yankee Magazine Travel Guide to New England (2004)

Creative Director: Leonard Loria
Art Director/Designer: Gil Martinez
Photo Editor: Heather Marcus
Photographers: Kindra Clineff (cover), James Lemass (spread)
Map illustrator: Gil Martinez, RGD

The cover and a sample spread of Yankee Magazine Travel Guide to New England for 2004. In addition to art directing the book, I handled much of the illustration and inside maps, like the one shown below.

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.

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.
