Michael Laborde’s Summary

I do design with professional experience in the area of print and web design within the fields of marketing, branding, and advertising.

I have agency experience and have worked with clients such as GlaxoSmithKline, City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia Health Systems, DeLonghi North America, City of Boston, P.J. Whelihans Restauants, Saladworks, Drexel University, Chestnut Hill College, Ultimate Rugby Sevens, University of Dayton, Wilkes University, Cynergy Healthcare, Science Center Philadelphia, Relish Philadelphia, and Silk Road Technologies. I am currently in the market for some new creative endeavors I am available for anything you’d like to throw at me because I am also a fast learner, so I don’t fear learning something new and working with all sorts of people.

I try to stay away from words such as "brandvertisments" "promotiZing" "retailtainment" and other crazy hybrid/buzz words that attempt to sound zany and witty but really make you look like a tool.

What's the deal with "thinking outside the box"? I hear this every so often and I have to think about those lonely goth kids who try to be individuals, but end up at Hot Topic with the other goth weirdos who now have sold their individuality to bad music and even worse hair styles. If everyone is outside the box, I wonder if everything gets lost in translation.
