Advertising and marketing communication is, by and large, a collaborative process. A good creative session often means you can’t recall if the writer came up with the headline and the art director the visual, or if it was the other way around. Over the years, I’ve been privileged to work with many inspirational art directors whose work appears here. They include: David Flynn • Michelle Fairfax • Liz Poest at ipso •  Bob Bohach and Joe Kline at Richards • Greg Scheetz, Martin Shure and Ricky Williams at Talisker • Denise Ziganti • John Scavnicky, Grand Kollar and Len Blasko at Marschalk • Dave Hartzell and Larry O’Neal at Carr Liggett, and many more.
