A Brief Recap of My Past Six Months Working for PPG

Jesse Wisinski — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 00:48:39 +0000

Since March of 2010, I have worked as a Web developer and designer in the Architectural Coatings Department of PPG. I have had a lot of fun designing and developing the recently-launched Olympic.com, as well as working on other PPG Paints-related websites, email marketing and a little bit of print and social media work to promote our online efforts. I have formed a lot of great relationships with my coworkers Rob, Sandeep, Mandy and Erica, as well as my bosses Matt and Angie. Below is a recap of some of the work I have done over the past six months including posters, postcards and a microsite for an event that my department hosted that featured Penske Racing, a real NASCAR and Sam Hornish Jr., as well as a page from the new Olympic website.
