Print ad
I'm still pretty new at the print ad stuff. Here's a newspaper ad I just finished. See anything that should be different?

Yeah I guess so. Everywhere that the paper distributes to is in the 912 area code so I left it out. Good point though, Ill put it in.

I don't think an area code is necessary.

i would use a dash in the phone # as opposed to the period. it's much easier to read. i would also like to see you incorporate the images on the left into the middle section or move all of the images to the left. and, make them as prominent as the middle image for appeal. info could also be rearrange to create a better transition to the logo/name of the restaurant. overall, nice start. i like the colors and the images you have chosen.

I think it looks really good..... Nice job... You said it is going in a newspaper right? If it is going to be printed in black and white, see how it looks like that.
Then you can also see what needs to be changed that way as well.

Pretty good, I think the logo would be better on the right though.

It'll be a color ad. A strip ad at the bottom of the front of the sports page.

I knew it. It's just Barry trying to reach me through your avatar. First he writes the songs that make me (and the whole world) sing and now he contacts me tenetically through you.

Looks good, but I'd get rid of the gradients on the text and make the stroke/shadow less obvious. The whole point of the ad is to get people to read the text, so adding extra effects just makes it harder to read. Especially on a print medium.
