Much of my time at the Park Record consists of building and changing ads for the paper, which is not my favorite thing to do design-wise.
But my favorite things might change because of this ad I just made today.
(Except girls in white dresses still ROCK!:)
It's been CRAZY - what with the Film Guide for the Sundance Film Festival going to the printer on Monday and production having one less day to work on it because we thought it wasn't going to actually happen because there weren't any ads sold for it - until Monday. So, two of us are working on the layouts for the actual Guide, and three of us are working on ads for it and for the upcoming Saturday paper. I've built and changed about 100 billion ads today alone and want to change my name to Ad Amy. What do you think? Or AdGirl. Or AdTastic. You get the idea.
Seeing as I built all the ads, it wasn't surprising that I built an ad for [NAME OF ADVERTISER DELETED] It was going to be built in black and white originally, and I still liked it then, but then the guy from the resort emailed me and asked if it was going to be in color, so I switched out everything to color - and fell in love.
[Picture of this ad deleted because owner of said anonymous company was upset that I put it up here - even thought I built it and I have some creative license attached to it, I just decided because he wanted me to take it off I would - because I work for the Park Record and anything I make for them also belongs to them, so it's legally tenuous and I don't want to have to deal with it.]
I especially love the coupon - it just feels more professional than anything I've made in my life. It was kind of a fluky thing, too, putting the logo in the coupon- it was because I couldn't fit it anywhere else. I also just discovered Onyx font and it just works for this ad.
In moving news: I'm finally moving into my little house in Holladay. I've been postponed from Saturday to Monday to Tuesday to tonight - mostly because the van I'm moving in was in the shop. Oh, and my own car. But tonight's the night and I'm stoked! Pics to come.
In Micah news: He told me he had two brains yesterday.
"How did that happen?" I asked
"Well, I have a brain from preschool and one from kindergarten," he replied sensibly.
I thought to myself, "Wow - that kind of makes sense," and actually said out loud, "So, I have 18 brains? I've gone to 18 years of school, counting preschool and kindergarten."
"Yep," he said.
Then he told Becca his theory and she asked how many brains a person could get.
He said something to the effect of "however far they go in school."
That kid...too smart for his own good and not even in first grade yet. Oy.

I like AdTastic the best. I think that's the one you should go with. The ad does look really nice. Way to go. Also, have you ever been to Zermatt? It is absolutely beautiful. Tucked up into the mountains in Midway, it's amazing. We had a work "summit" up there (a time where we pay lots of money to have people come and listen to us tell them why our dental software is the best) and I went up to work it (and got horribly lost at 4:30 in the morning in the hills of midway), and it was a beautiful resort. That's all. Good luck with the move!
