Your web site should include the following pages:

In the marketplace of a consumer-oriented society, producers search for effective means of differentiating their products in a positive way from
their competitors' products. They also look for additional products to add to a current product line. The level of sophistication in achieving the
desired identity has increased substantially. Today, companies employ market researchers, product developers, and advertisers to attain a
competitive edge in introducing a new product.

As members of a marketing team, advertisers (both print and video), product developer, package designer, and web master, you are to come up
with a new product to add to an existing product line of the corporation you choose. You are to research the corporation including existing
product lines, financial stability, locations throughout the world, and any other pertinent information to get a clear foundation on what the
company is all about and where they are going with their products in the future. You are to research the competitors to see the similar
products they offer, media used for advertising, features of the product, pricing and target markets.

For the new product introduced you are to develop the following:

1-Logo
2-Print Advertisement--Using Adobe Photoshop (take a look at sample magazine
advertisements before beginning your design)
