Personal Branding Billboard Complete

It has been a busy week for the group and I in Second Life. First of all, we spent most of the day in the lab compiling information for the powerpoint, and altering the building to fit the presentation we will be giving tomorrow for class. Bryan spent a lot of time touching up the building, while I worked on resizing the upper level complete with Mac computer display. Neil will just love that. I also began dabbling with scripts in second life (that is until I found a handy script generator). After the store rebuild, matrix for source criteria and import of the finished powerpoint, I still had enough energy to move forward on the personal branding billboard! With a bit of old experience in photoshop, I had already developed a transparent PNG, so the billboard would have a creative design. The business card is transparent. Here is a pic of my original design:


The new text got rid of the marketing branding at the bottom, as I am not currently pursuing any entreprenueral ventures aside from Second Hope. Additionally, the "your name here" which attempted to suggest branding, was changed out for my real name. Again, my perception of myself in SL mirrors, in some ways my real identity. However, when you click on the billboard, there is a note saying hello, introducing myself, and giving my SL name, blog address, twitter, etc. Another script was added to prompt a direct link to this blog - we'll see if we find any more visitors!


I will post a picture of the updated store and billboard soon!
