Experience Summary
I've been in the graphic design and advertising business for 30 years. I've been a creative director on accounts like Comedy Central and Spalding Worldwide.
I've won many awards over the years in categories like advertising, direct mail, logo design, package design, poster design, outdoor advertising and TV.
I was an adjunct professor of graphic design at the College of St. Rose in Albany, NY for several years. You can view some of my work at www.dicoccodesign.com
Teaching Style
I like to encourage students to think out of the box. While execution is important, i stress CONCEPT. I like an open creative dialog. No ideas are ever bad ideas...
I like to keep pushing the creative envelope. I know what art directors want in new college grads....i can help get you noticed.
My Hobbies
I love graphic design, I love to see what other people are doing...i want to be inspired by what i see out there.
I love music. Big fan of the beatles, the who, stones, roxy music, bowie. Love blues music. Love movies. I like discuss music and movies as much as design.
Love sports...big Green Bay Packers and St.Louis Cardinals fan.
