Keith Weaver’s Summary

I'm a creative director, art director, and photographer with a decade of experience in traditional and digital advertising. I've lead creative and technical teams on projects for National Geographic Channel, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruise Lines, Audi, REI, IBM, ING, and Showtime Channel. My work has received numerous awards including One Show, the Webbys, FWA, London International Awards, Adobe MAX, and Communication Arts Interactive Annual.

Currently, I'm a Creative Director for Schematic in our Atlanta and Austin offices. Previously, I was at BBDO Atlanta as a Senior Interactive Art Director where I helped establish the digital department for the agency.

Recently, I was a featured poster artist in TASCHEN's new book Design for Obama: Posters for Change, a grassroots anthology of poster art from the Design for Obama project that preceded the 2008 election. Design for Obama was the brainchild of RISD alum Aaron Perry-Zucker and was curated by Spike Lee and Stephen Heller, who picked 200 posters for the book from the almost 500 artists that participated in the project.
