The headline on your advertisement really caught my attention! It’s short and straightforward on what the ad will be about, but still makes you interested enough to click on it and read what information it has. It’s easy to understand the context of the ad based on the headline alone; that it involves creating or adding your design to a piece of clothing or material. The design of the graphic you created for the advertisement is really cool and looks very stylish. It really gives off the impression that this business is related to printing out designs. I really like the shapes and colors you used in the design. The blue and green go well together; the bright green pops from the dark blue background. The black streaks with the grunge look and texture, along with the white circle outlines, helps convey the general style of the business. The bridge is great, it made me want to keep reading; though, I wish I could read the rest of it. You could’ve typed the bridge and the rest of the information underneath the image so people can continue reading it in the blog. Other than that, you did a great job with the design of the advertisement!
Hi Jose! This is such a well done ad! I love the colors, textures, and patterns you used. The whole layout of the ad is very creative, I love it. The bright green really catches your eye. Is this your own brand? If so, do you sell your own art on t-shirts or bags? My boss has a business very similar to this and I’ve helped him make products for customers and it was really fun. He has a couple t-shirt presses that he taught me how to use. He also makes hats and just recently started making water bottles as well. I’d be interested to see the designs you have and if you make custom orders. I think this is such a great idea for a business and you advertised it very well. It made me think of my boss’s business and I realized that this ad is a lot better than what he has currently. If it is your actual business and not just for the assignment, how long have you been doing it? I hope business is going well and you continue to get lots of customers! Great job with creating an eye catching ad for your business! 😊
Hey Jose! The headline and the general composition are phenomenal! I can’t get over how well the lime-ish color pairs so well with the blue, black, and white. It’s a very organized chaos, and it works so well for an ad about putting designs on whatever someone could want! It looks so professional and I can see you going a long way with this talent!
