Ad Design Basics
The goal of every advertisement is to make the cash register ring. A well-laid out ad helps you communicate what you are selling or promoting. By designing an effective ad and directing it to the right market, The Daniel Island News readership, your cash register should start dinging and your bottom-line should grow.
Most effective ads contain these four elements:
Headline - Grabs the readers' attention and helps the reader decide if he or she will read the rest of the ad.
Art - Also designed to grab the readers' attention and to set the tone and theme of the ad.
Copy - Explains the details and benefits of the ad's products or services
Signature - Business name, address, slogan, logo and phone number.
Design Rules of Thumb
Clearly delineate the ad elements.
Headline & art take up to 50-67% of the ad space.
Headline point size should be at least 4 times the size of the copy point size.
Signature is best placed at the bottom of the ad.
Border and fonts can help, but they are not a substitute for a good, relevant ad message.
Content Rules of Thumb
The product or service should satisfy a basic human need.
The headline and copy should answer a subliminal question: What's in it for me?
Consistent use of ad copy and the elements builds loyaltyDaniel Island News Distribution 2006
