Design Challenge #1

 [CURRENTLY LISTENING TO: For What It's Worth by The Cardigans ]

This quarter I'm enrolled in an e-portfolio class where we'll be putting together websites to showcase our design talents. I've tried many times to build a website for myself. I've gone through the building process a couple times, at least....but none have ever made it to the world wide web, HA!

Anyway. With that in mind, the teacher is apparently going to give us design challenges each week. The idea behind it is to help build our portfolio up. Our first challenge was to create a 3 ad series for an amusement park. While most others in the class chose real amusement parks, or completely made up their own...one of the first things to come to my mind was Wally World, from National Lampoon's Vacation. I started with an idea really simple, which I wasn't sure at first I liked. So I started a second idea, which is what I ended up rolling with as it was more appealing.

I just finished my 3rd ad design a short bit ago, and decided it would make for a great blog post! Keep in mind. I was still going for simple and fun. Representations are not exact with the movie. And upon presenting the rough mock-up of my first idea to the class, it was suggested that I build my other ads around other rides with the moose walking through the park. So that's what I went with.
