Being that I work in an industry that CREATES first impressions, I am a stickler for how end results look. This coupled with the fact that I worked in graphic arts, print media and advertising for years... I am passionate about how an advertising "message" is crafted AND presented. Whether the "message" is an ad of self promotion or an ad for a property that is for sale, what ever medium is used it is vital that it presents a clear, professional and well crafted message.Today, part of real estate advertising is done through the means of virtual tours. And while there seems to be many virtual tour solutions... some of them, I have to admit, confuse me and make me literally nauseous. URP...all that distorted swirling and twirling.Anyway, this past week I finally started playing with the v... 08/19/2007
