Newspaper/Magazine Ad Assignment
Part 2
Directions: Design 2 advertisements using the guidelines discussed in class and posted on the class website. Also, please note that you will be recreating (not reproducing) these ads.
As a designer, often times the double-checking of spelling accuracy is left in your hands. It is highly recommended that you key all of the body content in a word processing application, such as Microsoft Word or Corel Word Perfect, and then monitored with the “Spell Check” and “Grammar Check” features as this will help to minimize errors in the body content. Make certain that your ad contains the following elements.
Use the following techniques in your design.
