HALIBURTON, THE HIGHLANdER

You demonstrate exactly what you described in the submission description. You took a simple idea to the next level with great design, eye catching images and simple, clean text. Great way to think outside the box!

NORTH wELLINGTON COMMUNITy NEwS

At first glance I thought this was an ad for a sports bar! Great way to create attention. My suggestion – would change the image at the bottom to be more food focused, maybe showing a football spread or something, rather than just the tv.

GENERAL COMMENT ELMIRA-wOOLwICH OBSERVER

Love this ad! Great use of colour, making the photo stand out really well. My only critique would be to keep thoughts together in the headline - Storewide Sale then new line: On Now! Keeping the on now together.

Excellent entries overall. Watch grammar, punctuation, and spelling! Remember, logos don’t have to go at the top of the ad, it’s not the headline.
