Designing ads for a newspaper is like creating a tasty recipe that needs just the right ingredients to stand out on the page. Each ad should be a visual feast, blending vibrant colors with tempting fonts that grab attention faster than a kid in a candy store. Clever imagery combined with catchy headlines can paint a picture that leaves readers hungry for more information, while concise text ensures the message is as clear as a sunny day. Just like an artisan knows the importance of presentation, the art of newspaper ads lies in striking that perfect balance between eye-catching design and effortless readability, making sure your brand doesn’t just blend in, but dances off the page! These samples are ads I designed while working for Snoqualmie Valley Record and will always hold a special place in my heart as they not only represent my very first client but also mark my first award-winning success in the world of advertising.
