AdPads, Inc.

Web & Graphic Designer

AdPads, Inc. was a popular form of advertising, displaying full-color print ads on boards in supermarkets and other high traffic locations. Each ad was printed on a pad and mounted to a display which consumers could tear off and bring home with them. The ads were also searchable and printable from the AdPads website.

As a teenager, I was hired to run the design team and produced hundreds of print ads for advertisers that covered almost half the nation. After interfacing with advertisers, I'd design the print ad and make sure all new ads were inserted into our weekly print productions. I was also responsible for creating the AdPads website and populating the site with the new ads we designed each week.
