Branding Project

Picture
In this project, we each took a section of our Montrealites website and became managing editors. We wrote introductions to our sections,  mission statements, created a logo and promoted our site with a meme.

My section was Montreal Living which includes fitness and health, news, activities, volunteering and recreation. I created a landing page introducing my section, created a logo for the website and made a viral video. Visit my branding project or my section on Montreal Living.

Pitching Project

This project will focus on the developmnt of my section of the Montrealites website. I hope to created a clearly-defined theme and direction for the Living section that is both easy to navigate and detailed in terms of content.
