I’ve worked at Good Times newspaper for going on five years. In that time I’ve designed thousands (literally) of ads for hundreds of local Santa Cruz businesses. We go to print every Tuesday afternoon, so designing ads is always a fun challenge in the given time frame. How can we get a good looking idea across, following the branding of any given company, jamming as much information as the client depicts and still make it legible and eye catching?
These are a few examples that have proven successful.
