Week 3

Like last week, this week I spent most of my time designing flash ads for clients. I expect this will be pretty common. Here are my ad designs for this week:
























I also started working on a splash page for Holiday Cruises & Tours of Tallahassee. More on that next week.

Week 1

Today is the end of my first week working at the Tallahassee Democrat. My first couple of days were slow. On Monday I got acquainted with my workspace and coworkers. I spent several hours critiquing Tallahassee.com and made note of any usability issues I noticed. I also surveyed Tallahassee.com's Facebook page, and noticed that it does not come up when the user searches for "Tallahassee Democrat," which is a keyword I feel they need to establish within Facebook.

It took a few days to get a computer and the proper software. Once I had it I began recreating flash ads from Tallahassee.com as an assignment to demonstrate my current skill level with Adobe Flash.













I also got started on creating an original print ad for the Democrat to feature in the Seven Days of Opening Nights booklet this year, as well as a large print banner. More on those next week.
