WARCRAFT III:
REIGN OF CHAOS &
THE FROZEN THRONE
About:
This is where it all began. In 2001 working as a temp associate designer at Vivendi Games, I was provided an opportunity to assist with a Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos promotion. Shortly after, I was hired full-time and asked to help on the packaging and many more promotion items for the game. Reign of Chaos was release on July 2002 followed by its’ expansion The Frozen Throne on July 2003. Later the two games were bundled and sold as the Warcraft: Battlechest on Sept 2003.
Below are a few pieces I had the pleasure to work on pulled from the archives.

A few in-store promotion items I assisted on or created, my favorite being the one page ad with the perforated door hanger for The Frozen Throne that read Do Not Disturb! The back read, “If work calls, tell them I’m undead.”
