In two hours, learn Google Web Developer and create an HTML5 banner ad to match the established print campaign and be used as a template for all banner ads the rest of they year.
Solution:
This is the animation I presented as an option. While mine wasn’t selected, I was the only person to animate the image. It was decided that while this was visually the most exciting, it would be difficult to find images that would always allow for animation and it might be too time consuming. It was presented and approved by the client though as a “special occasion” design option.
