Michelle Pickens' Online Resume

Ads and Websites...

ACE Bandages

I am the art director for this current, in-progress ACE Bandage campaign. Concepts were a joint effort; put together by myself with Photoshop and InDesign. Tagline: For unexpected twists.

KitchenAid Stand Mixers

This campaign is very much in the works. Although the idea (creativity in the kitchen) is there, neither the art direction nor the copy is done. Again, I worked as art director. Done in Photoshop and InDesign. Tagline: Get creative in the kitchen.

Amtrak Branding Project

The following ad was conceptualized as part of a group branding project for Amtrak for my ADV325 class. All photoshop work was done by me.

Shell Oil Company Website

Some examples of the work I did on the Shell U.S. website. Work varied from cleaning and organizing tasks to recreating entire sections of the website for internal organizations.

Assorted Forum Projects

For many years I was extremely active in helping users on a forum community called AvidGamers create their own, smaller communities. The following are some examples of websites I designed. Sadly, working links are no longer available.

Hoofbeat Forum

The following is a forum community similar to the examples above, but run by me, on my own domain. This community is in its sixth year of existence and still alive and strong. CMS used: Xoops.
