I’m an associate with The Creative Group, and have been working for the past month for a company in Boulder that makes a really nice interface for photofinishers.

I’ve been creating dozens of banner ads to run on vendor websites and on a series of emails. I’d never made a banner ad in my life until a month ago, but it’s fun. I don’t have to think too much when I’m selecting photos and writing blurbs for banners.

My supervisor wrote me today with kudos for the ads I made this week - and to tell me that they were going out in an email to 250,000 potential customers today. That’s really cool.

I just learned about the site www.giveawayoftheday.com - every day they give away free copies of licensed software. Today it’s Icon Constructor 3 for Windows, which I’ve just downloaded. It looks pretty useful, creates .ico files and other small graphics from images you provide.

I see from the comments that a lot of people are complaining about IC3’s install process, but it took about a minute. As one of the commenters said, it’s not rocket science.
