Hi there!
www.uadz.org is a free classified ads posting service for UBC students to sell and buy anything peer to peer. Our bulletin boards around campus have always been crowded with ads, and it is neither eco-friendly nor convenient for most students because new ones will soon cover up old ads. With Uadz, people could save their time and money from typing and printing out paper ads ; instead, just go on the website, and everything is fast and easy. Since the website is designed for students, people can always have their transactions done on campus. The website is very user-friendly, with instant image upload and Google map integration.
Check it out, take a minute to post your ads online and let your fellow students know about this exciting new website as well! Especially for now since you probably have a lot of Old Books to Sell and Save Money on New Textbooks!
Cheers
The Uadz Crew

After much effort and vote counting, we have a winner! Leading the pack with 17 amazing votes is design #6. Its graceful cubic lines evidently struck a note in the hearts of CPSC'ers everywhere and will be featured on whatever products we can come up with this year.
We applaud the designer of #6, Johnson Chuang, as well as the 71 people who took the time to vote. Kudos to the runner ups, #1 and #4. Remember, if you didn't make it this time around, there's always next year!
