[REQ OTHER] Design two adverts - $50

[Scotland]

Type of Contest : Design of two adverts

Prize : $50.00

Contest End Date & Time : Midnight on 30th June

Size Requirements : See below

Color Requirements :Baby blue & Pink - but no real limitations.


Firstly, thanks for looking at this competition! I need someone to design two adverts for us to put in some publications in our local area. They will be put in papers and directories and therefore they will not be the normal web based design designs that are normally advertised.

The designs will be to advertise a nanny agency which provides childcare to the local area and will therefore have to be fun, yet professional. There will be one advert for the whole company and one for babysitting which is a different aspect of the company. The two old adverts can be seen here and here.

The company logo can be found here. and the 'super mums' font is 'girls are weird' which can be downloaded from the internet and the first 'u' should be pink and the second should be baby blue. This font will have to be used for the name 'Super Mums' as we use it elsewhere.

The larger advert should be 134mm x 125mm (h x w) and the babysitting should be 64mm x 125mm. The adverts have always been rectangular but this is not required and you could play with all parts of the advert as long as they fit within these borders.

The content will remain largely unchanged but there will be some alterations which I will let you know when I find out!

Finally - the colour will have to be in CMYB (cyan,magenta,yellow and black) and it would be great if you could supply the desing in a few different formats including .tiff

I will also give constant updates on your designs!

Please let me know if there are any questions you may have and the best of luck!


**Please note that the winner's design may not be used as we are looking elsewhere for designs too, however, the winner WILL be paid $50 for the adverts whether used or not!**

Hi Scotland,

When ready your brief, I find it a bit unclear. Are you looking just for a fresh new redesign of the existing ads?

 

[pigbait75]

please explain to everyone that you have this contest running on several boards so people know if they enter their may not be a winner at all here.

vsgatrwoks - Yes, it as a redesign of the previous adverts. They really need to be freshened up!

Pigbait
It is true that this competition is being offered at one other forum, however the winner on both will win $50. I will make this clear in the initial post.

Thanks Niek, I look forward to see what you come up with! No problem pigbait! I should have made this clear in my original post!

c24_net - I really like the design! Here are a few points that you could think about if you were to do a revision:
1) The address & website could be moved to a different area of the design and the website could be a little more obvious.
2) The credit card logos look a little messy, maybe these could be reorganised.
3) The font used for the phone numbers etc can be a little hard to read. Maybe these could be rethought.
Apart from these points, we do really like your design and think you have a solid base to work from. Thanks!

Thanks for the revision c24_net. I think it loos good, but the bottom of the advert is a little busy and I'm still not happy with the web link. Getting close though!

Please remember there are oly a few days left!

Thanks for your entry creationz. I do like it and it is very clear and concise but I would like it if it was a little more eye catching.

c24_net - I still really like your design and thanks for making the web address more distinctive - but I think it looks too prominant now! Basically I still think the bottom of the advert is too busy. The credit cards are squashed up and the address is not clear. If you can get the bottom of the advert cleaned up it would look great. The web address does not have to be huge! but does have to be visable.

Looking forward to your nex entries and it would be good to get some more competition too!

- As the deadline has now passed - the winner is c24_net. Congratulations! I hope you wouldn't mind making some more changes so the advert is perfect!
