Ad Design

August 9th, 2011

The folks over at Southern Flourish Magazine asked me to come up with several kitchen related DIY projects for their next issue. One of them you’ve already seen, and I will share the other projects after they’ve been published. I was offered a full page ad in the magazine, so today I designed the first ever Wit & Whistle ad. I created plenty of ads at my old job, but I never enjoyed it this much! I think being both the client and the designer is the best possible situation, since I almost always agree with myself. Would any of my fellow graphic designers out there concur?

  9. Love it! I especially love the texture of the canvas background you used. May I ask where you got it?

      The background texture is a yard of cloth I bought from Jo-Ann Fabrics. I spread out the fabric, arranged my products on top, and took a photo!

  10. Oh, wow – this is gorgeous! :) Charming and a tiny bit rustic and adorably whimsical. I love it. Added your blog to my list of daily reads! :) <3

I love your comments more than I love chocolate (almost).
