Dear Steve,

I’d be happy to do work with Steve’s Gourmet Ice Cream! I’ve researched local competition and their websites and I have some ideas to compliment your company as well as show casing your website in a more appealing manner than competitors. I understand that you would like a viral video to be placed on the site. This is an excellent idea because it will be one of the first things that the user sees when they go to your website. I can come into your shop and film an HD quality video of your shop’s products and/or the environment of the shop itself. I can make it so that the viewers want your products even by just being on your website. Business is sure to increase! Another idea that I came up with was a gallery o f your products. A picture of each product at its finest could be placed next to each item on the menu. On the home page of the website there will be an area that says “Our Flavor of the Day”. So you can spend more time managing the business, I can set this up so it automatically chooses one of your ice cream flavors at random to replace one another each day. I really want to show off your business and create an emotion in the viewer in which they want to visit your business and purchase some of your ice cream.

Here are the series of events that are going to take place over the course of building the site.
- First we’ll go over and finalize ideas for the design.
- Domain Name and Hosting. As well as the best deals for pricing.
- Next we’ll talk the content that will be placed on each page.
- Discuss social networking. Social networking is huge with companies now-a-days. People want to better connect with your company and social sites such as Facebook and Twitter are just the way to do it. The website and social networks we decide to use will enter connect. So from your website they’ll be able to “like” you on Facebook or “follow” you on twitter. Then from each of the social networks, there will be a link to your main website.
- Build site design.
- Connect all the content pages.
- Film video.
- Edit and upload video to a popular media hosting site such as YouTube or Vimeo so that it can be access off of your website. The video will be placed on the home page of your website as well.
- Discuss extras (Such as deals the user can access and get information about from your website).
- Finalize the entire site
- Upload site and let the customers start accessing the website.

This all can easily be done in a week and a half at most.

I have also attached a mock-up of a possible site design idea. We want to instantly catch the viewer’s attention with the colors we use and still fit your business. So I decided to go with blue, white, and charcoal color scheme. Color scheme is easily fixable if you decide you go with something else though.

I can’t wait to start doing business with you.

Sincerely,
Travis Copley Design

All very large projects. Overwhelmed Travis is overwhelmed.

So this is the start of my main menu. This is character 1. Character one is a spaceman. Character one will be dressed like a caveman. Character 1 will also have a zombie face and hands.

Alright, so in the midsts of coming up with other things with my interactive resume that are obsure, I've come up with the concept of "Zombie Cave people in Outerspace."

Intro:
So my idea for the intro is to do a song like "trogdor." Except it'll be about zombie caveman astronauts.




Yeeeeeeeeeeeah.

LET'S DO THIS!

I just went to google and it's the 50th anniversary of "The Flintstones". I've been thinking about what I want to do for my interactive resume and this just helped me out a little. I want to do something with outspace, but I want something to contradict a bit. So when I think of the stone age, obviously I think of the past. When I think of outerspace, I think of future. In the stone age, the people that lived back then had no idea there was even anything outside of earth. So I think it'd be really interesting if I had a "Stone Age in Outerspace" theme for my interactive resume. I love nebulas, rocketships, and planets. Therefore, those factors will be a huge part of the design. So here is a bit of a brainstorm for what I'm thinking. (oh, and see the bottom of this post for the flintstones google logo)

Brainstorm:
- Cave people in rocketships/astronaut suits
- Planets shaped like boulders
- Have people have similar attibutes to characters on the flintstones
- Aliens that look like dinosaurs
- Space station could be like the central cave with antennas all over it
- Sketches on stone slabs for different links and writing
