Hello Lovely
Welcome to my design portfolio and Sustainability Blog! My name is Marci and I am a graphic artist/freelancer, amateur photographer, and environmentalist based in Central Minnesota. I’m honored you are here. Within this portfolio you will find selected projects from past and present. All images I’ve showcased are my own. If you are interested in connecting or collaborating with me on a project, please leave your information in my contact form. Thank you!
My name is Marci Strack, nicknames I've had include Mars, Mössy, MarMar and Marcel Marceau. Minnesota is the state where I live with my husband Tony and Boston Terrier, Indie. Making art and thinking creatively is meditative; I can lose myself in a good painting session. My garden makes me happy! Nothing beats fresh garden tomatoes and salsa! Music sets my mood sometimes, I love independent music and public radio. Mindfulness and compassion are values I hold dear. "Make memories with the ones you love,” is my mantra for 2015!

2015 Calendar
I created calendar artwork as a way to kick-start my year in 2015. The project wasn’t mass produced and the sole copy hangs on my kitchen wall. Would you like to see more month images or want one for yourself? Contact me!

Wine Labels
The American Advertising Federation of Central Minnesota partnered with Millner Heritage Winery to offer a unique competition to design a new wine label. My label for the Salier brand was selected. Schnickelfritz, was a commissioned label. The artwork on that design is hand illustrated. "Schnickelfritz," can be translated as a mischievous child or rascal, and I wanted to give it life through the artwork.
Motion Graphics Demo Reel
For a period of five years I worked for a company that sold and distributed pre-show advertising packages for cinema exhibitors throughout the United States. I put together this demo reel in 2011 to showcase some of my favorite work. Click the video below to view the 4 minute compilation. Each advertisement, including copywriting, were all executed by me. The digital graphics were created using Adobe After Effects.
Portrait Photography
Below is a sample of portrait work I’ve done on an amateur level for friends and family. It’s something I enjoy doing, but do not have a studio for. If you like my work and are interested in hiring me to take pictures of you, your family or pets please contact me!
