Assignment #2
Above are the images after I saved them for the web. I ended up saving all as JPEGs. PNG's were the next closest in quality, however the load time was almost doubled a JPEG's. The JPEG proved to be the better photo at the lowest quality.
Above are the original images I used to create web ready images. As you can see I went with a hot air balloon theme.

Thought I would share with everyone our finished product for the "Chair-ity Affair" on March 19th. Our idea was to take a chair and add functionality to it. So we took the common barstool and converted them into "Corner Readers." These can be used as nightstands, bookshelves, or as the usual stool. We chose a tiered effect with the shelves to give a modern look and complimented that with bold colors in the shelves and the expresso stain. Everything you see on the stools, is included with the purchase.
Our hope is to at least sell the stools (it would be kind of embarrassing if no one even bid on them). We've attached our personal business cards to each stool in the hopes that whoever ends up with them will think of us in the future for design projects or even more stools!
