Container Ship Danger

This humorous photo of a giant squid or octopus about to ensnare a container ship on the high seas is symbolic of the dangers of ocean shipping and of global and international overseas business. In the image storm clouds gather over one side of the image indicating either an approaching storm (and business challenges) or clearing skies with better conditions ahead. This image combines the realism and immediacy of photography (composited from actual photos) with the poetic license and artistry of illustration. It taps into the primordial fear of deep waters and imagined ocean monsters while at the same time striking a chord with the need and desire for adventure.

Giant Sea Monsters

A giant sea monster with clutching tentacles is a metaphor for all the challenges, dangers and risk that face businesses who either send goods across the ocean, or deal with overseas clients, services and manufacturing. The containers piled high on deck represent goods and services and global business in general. The image has been created to facilitate cropping as a vertical, square or horizontal format with ample copy space for headlines and text. The colors are bold and vivid.

Ocean Transportation Issues

This is a photo about ocean transportation issues. The giant sea monster with its octopus tentacles represents any ocean borne danger that one can imagine. The danger of the situation is that much stronger due to the setting being in an ocean or sea. The storm clouds lend even more drama and impact to this photo of peril on the high seas.
