This Week's Guest Speaker

Patrick Schwerdtfeger was our guest speaker on the subject of creative use of social media. It was really interesting and useful because a lot of times when something like facebook or twitter is talked about, the conversation tends to lean towards how they're time wasters and such. This event was useful because it showed how these websites can be incredibly useful for increasing one's visibility on the internet, because it helped us realize that since so many people waste time on these sites, they are the perfect places to advertise and utilize for self promotion. The example that stuck out the most to me was this one pizza place he talked about that offered discounts to customers who tweeted in their orders, and so not only did more customers order because of the discounts, but everyone who follows them on twitter just saw that they ordered from that restaurant, and that increased business. I thought that was really cool because it is useful to know how to do DIY advertising and promotion really easily, and on very high profile avenues. 

Asset List

For my website, the intended pages are going to be:
1. Index (home)
2. About
3. Work
4. Contact

I dont plan on having any videos on the site itself, and there will not be any sound on the site either (its annoying when you go onto a page and some noise just starts blasting). As far as file that will be on the site, it will mostly just be the image galleries for my work, and a self portrait jpg for the about section. I will also need to use my logo as a button so I'll have to upload that, as well as a sketch or two for the home page.
