Comment, and don’t forget to include a link to your student project site!
Following the 45 minute quiz, students will be spending the rest of the class working on completing their major project. Please come to class prepared to work on your website. I will be meeting with you individually to check progress and answer questions.
This is a reminder to all students in ADV3650 this Spring 2010 semester that your final website projects must be built completely and populated with content by Monday, May 3, 2010. This means you have 3 weeks to complete the project. This will coincide with the Grace Gallery Student Show, May 4-11.
Following the site’s completion, we spend the remaining weeks working on driving traffic to the site, and analyzing the traffic.

Whitney Pillsbury, creative director at Kaplan Thaler Group, will be giving a lecture for the Meet the Pros series at CityTech next week.

Mr. Pillsbury has been with Kaplan Thaler Group since 1997. An award winning agency, known for ads such as AFLAC, Wendy’s, Swiffer, and others, the company has grown exponentially over the past decade, ranking in the top 30 agencies in the US, with a revenue over $1 billion.
