It became apparent that the grad brochure I designed ought to be on the website somehow. But of course this couldn't be as easy as slapping a PDF on our FTP server! As you probably thought when I posted the brochure on my blog in the first place, it is really awkward to look at a tri-fold on a computer. The first things you see are the inside flap, the back, and the front cover - illogical. So I was asked to find a better "flow" for posting online.
It's still not perfect, but what are you going to do? It's a brochure designed to be printed out and folded into thirds; it just doesn't translate to viewing digitally. But, I did best I could. Hopefully that's okay. I especially hope it's good enough because it took a lot of research and Googling to implement something that would work at all. By the way, why can't Acrobat allow for horizontal scrolling instead of everything always being vertically laid out? That would have saved me a lot of trouble. (And, no, assembling a PDF Portfolio was not going to work.)
Meanwhile, I'm wrapping up the grad programs slideshow, which in comparison will look much better when viewed online (though it still won't be perfect - it is, after all, meant to be a slideshow, not an information booklet). Hopefully this will be completed in the next few days.
