Collage Project / Print Ad Series Resources

For this project you will create a series of three print ads based on a product, service, or organization.

Think about fashion, technology, household goods, furniture, etc. The final ads should relate to each other by concept and follow a cohesive design program that is evident when the ads are presented. Design principals being addressed in this project are use of space in various formats, typography, composition, and general synergy across design elements.

Take a look at ad campaigns across multiple genres, interests and demographics. See what it is that makes an ad successful or not so successful.

For each concept sketch you create. Be prepared to answer the following questions.
1. What is your message? Is it clear?
2. Who is your target and is your message right for the audience?
3. Is your message appropriate for the product?
