<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Tahoma;">It is really interesting working out what to do for the advertisement. I think I am going to design another multi-image ad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>When ever I think of the art ads I have seen, they tend to have multi-image designs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>One of my favorites is </span><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Tahoma;"><a class="alignleft" title="Sally Jean" href="http://www.sallyjean.com" target="_blank">Sally Jean&#8217;s </a>advertising</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Her ads are great and give you a good sense of what she offers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>And right now I think it is important to show the diversity of my work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Then I can ultimately go to single item ads.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">   </span></span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Tahoma;">So here is what I will be submitting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>I am so excited to be marketing my work!</span></span></p>
