Advertising+-+the+industry

Rationale
The purpose of this project is to educate the viewer on the different aspects of Advertising within the industry and for the viewer to gain an understanding of what is really involved in the processes of creating advertisements.

Much of the ideas within this site were based on personal experience and my own education within the industry and through my education in Advertising that I previously attained in college. The website is beneficial to those who would consider a career within an ad agency, and shows the importance of all parts of an agency that should be considered when working in this type of environment.

The images used in this are typical things you would see within an agency. Curvy lines outline the images to represent the frills which are put on objects, products, etc. when an item is advertised. Making the object seem interesting.
