Working with sales of banner ads on In-Forum and out four other vertical web sites, ApartmentsHQ, CarsHQ, HomesHQ and JobsHQ gave me the opportunity to put together sales materials for all of them.

I knew I wanted all of the HQ web sites to have a very similar feel when the sales associate presented the information to potential clients. I used the same type of layout I had created earlier for a sales and information sheet I had put together for BizonZone advertising. view the sales sheet

I feel these sales materials have turned out very balanced and full of useful information not only for our sales associates, but our clients as well.

The Upper Great Plains Technology and Trade Show comes around every year to Fargo. I was happy and pleased to not only put the online banner ads together for UGPT but the newspaper print ad as well. One of the few times my design skills have been tested in managing CMYK and much larger file sizes than I am used to normally handling.

In the five years I have worked in The Forum building in downtown Fargo, I have been a member of the United Way of Cass Class committee. Each year we work together to raise money on behalf of Forum Communications Company for any and all United Way charities. In the fall of 2005 our committee decided to put together a cook book to sell as a fundraiser with the net proceeds going to the United Way.

Not only was I able to design the cover artwork for the cookbook, but I was also able to play an intregral part in collecting all of the recipes to be put in the publication. I created a webpage on which all Forum Communication Company employees could enter thier favorite dishes. The information was then stored in a database for later use.

After the deadline for submissions had passed, we were able to pull the data out of the database and insert it into a Quark template with only a few text tweaks to finish up the whole book.
