Enjoy Affordable Custom Advertising for a Great First Impression
Let me be your art department, and stop getting mediocre results in your ad campaign. I graduated from art school before computers were invented, and I've been doing digital graphics for 10 years. A free design from the phone company is tempting. Reconsider unless you don't mind looking like everyone else.
Most small businesses don't have an art department, so for stunning artwork many depend on freelance designers for quality print advertising in newspapers and phone books. My services include full color, black and white, or 2-color custom designed ads for a very modest fee. Expect high quality and fast delivery, and then call me: "Your Art Department". Here is a color ad next to a black and white ad for a mortgage company and a public insurance adjuster.
The full color ad was actually a full page ad for a phone directory. The black and white was for a newspaper.
More Sample Artwork of Print Advertising
Follow these links for examples of print advertising artwork for large ads: newspaper full page ad in color, the same newspaper full page ad in black and white, and this magazine half page ad in full color. Images shown are low resolution and smaller than actual size.
Two Color: If your budget can't handle full color newspaper or yellow page ads, consider a 2-color custom design. Adding the second color can result in a more favorable first impression with a professionally designed ad. Here is an example of custom artwork created for an Indian restaurant and displayed as a phone book ad:
The 2 color ad was only one of the restaurant ads for Indian cuisine. This client also had a full page - full color design of their entire menu! View the restaurant menu Yellow Pages ad actual size (low res: 288K) as featured in the local phone directory.
Your Project Moves Faster with a Little Research
Different publishers offer a variety of sizes. If possible, please provide specifications for the ad size including the "bleed and safe area", and any special instructions when contacting me. Most clients decide at the last minute that they prefer a custom design over free layouts because they want that extra "wow" reaction. If you have a serious (short) deadline, let me know. I take pride in quality designs with fast delivery at an affordable price.
