I’ve always wondered what people use to make emails that look like this, and now I’m glad I do! To stick with the spy theme, I made an email from the government, warning them that all cameras are watching them. I used the website mentioned in the assignment listing, Vertical Response. It was really easy to use. I wanted to make it intimidating, hence the red and large words. I liked using the flag in the background to give it a patriotic feel.

I created an email advertising for tourism in Tombstone, Arizona, a town I’ve used a couple times in past assignments. This assignment uses the website Vertical Response to create this ad, and actually allows you to send it out to people, but a) I didn’t have emails to send it to, and b) I don’t want to spam random people with an ad. Tombstone is home to a lot of history: it earned the reputation as a tough western town, and boomed for a while due to its silver mine. It almost became a ghost town, but tourism has revitalized it, sustain its modest population by telling newcomers its history. I couldn’t think of a better place to advertise, especially given the context of this course.

Since this was done through a website, the process was very easy. It had a wide arrangement of templates, so I just picked the one that fit the best. I got pictures off of Google, and highlighting what I thought as majors draws, attractions, or distinguishing factors. I created the ad in context of the town’s boom period, although it could have easily been made for current attraction.
