[QUOTE="Pat P, post: 93000, member: 201"]Okay, my turn to show some of my work. I don't think I've ever shown this to anyone other than my husband before. In 2008-2010, I worked for a web and eBay template design company as the creative director. I developed the concepts, layouts and color schemes for the designs, found the graphic elements and worked with the clients, but the actual art work was done by artists and the coding by programmers. Some aspects of the text formatting were done by someone else or later changed by the client, and I wasn't always pleased with what they did, but such is life. if All in all, I loved working with the clients and doing these jobs. I'm happy to see that quite a few of the clients are still selling and still using their templates, although this was pre-mobile days and I hope their sales on mobile aren't suffering due to their graphics-intensive pages. These are some of the designs I came up with....
