I first realized I had to revolutionize the visual communications industry when i walked into my gynecologist's office and took a look around : kitten poster on the wall that said "hang in there baby," the doctor's stationery (who chooses Geneva?), and her complete ignorance of spatial relationships...what can i say, i've been a controlling art director/designer ever since.

I work with the ADC (Art Directors Club to the old skoolers), a not-for-profit organization for integrated media and the first international creative collective of its kind since founded in NYC in 1920. We're all about promoting visual communications and providing a forum for creative leaders in advertising, design, interactive media, photography and illustration to explore and anticipate the direction for these rapidly changing industries.

In essence, we totally ROCK! Check it: www.adcglobal.org

Ive been out seeking and recognizing other young talent with similar innovative minds in all fields of visual communications. Whether it is advertising, publishing, graphic design, illustration, photography, film and video, packaging and environmental design, experimental fashion or interactive media, ADC YG5 encourages all promising young creatives age 30 or under to participate in our fifth international biennial competition starting December 1, 2005. Winners will be showcased in a world-wide exhibition, with a gala premiere at the ADC Gallery in NYC, AND in a full-color published book AND on the ADC website in the fall of 2006.

So if you are 30 or under working professional in the fields of visual communication and believe youre more ambitious and more innovative than my gynecologist, prove it.
