Easily one of the toughest assignments I've had to design yet is the Newspaper Ad. Though a very simple layout trying to really figure out what I wanted to portray in this ad is the tough part. Ulitmately again I decided to portray a photography ad (however this might change before critique day). After looking over good and bad examples today I'm going to keep this one simple, logo, bitmap, coupon, and contact icons.
Here are my thumbnails: Altough these are very rough thumbnails I decided to use this time to really figure out my layout of how I wanted the ad to look.
After working with a $97 budget on this ad and using a system we learned today on how to figure up my ad size, I went with a 4 column spread, that was 6 inches high. Due to my logo size I felt this would best fit the content that I wanted, totaling out to be $96.
Here is my rough: I went with the bmp image of the camera because it "hopefully" will draw attention to the add right off the bat with the next largest part of the ad being the coupon. My logo will be put next to my social media icons.
I'm really struggling if I want to make the entire ad a reverse also, but that will be determined later.
After struggling with how I wanted this ad to be portrayed, I decided to use this ad as a sort of a coupon to try and bring in some new customers. So the easiest way to do this is to attach a coupon the magazine ad, so I went with 25% off any work of your choice with the mention of the ad. So this is my final image of the design that I put together.
