Commercial Work
Here are some examples of Joel Stern’s commercial work.
Birds Eye
Birds Eye wanted to create a 30-second commercial for microwavable meals in parchment paper, showing the magic of what paper can do. In the commercial, the paper morphs into paper/origami versions of the different foods inside. Birds Eye hired Joel Stern to come up with origami renditions of the broccoli and salmon, presented below:

Breakstone Dairy
The bird ad appeared in the following publications: People, Good Housekeeping and Relish. The flower ad has not yet been published, which is why there are no Breakstone ad words on it yet.

Money Origami for National City Bank
These moneyfolds were designed for posters to be displayed in branches of the National City Bank. All the models were designed by Joel Stern except the mortarboard (Sy Chen) and the shirt (traditional). The pig’s head was designed by Paul Jackson, and the body by Stern.
