Contest Brief

This is a contest to design a full page ad in National Oil and Lube News. The ad is a call to action ad that is headlining WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH ONE MONTH OF FREE PRODUCT EVERY YEAR??? The ad is targeted as a business to business ad. We are additive and wiper blade company that targets the quick lube, oil change and dealership businesses. I have included links to the last two advertisements we have done so you can use elements of the art. By no means do we want you to copy the look / feel of the current ads. This is to be a fresh ad concept. You must sell the concept of FREE PRODUCT FOR A MONTH. What does that look like to you?? It looks like a lot of free profit, a good discount, a lot of extra sales, etc. The ad must be designed in photoshop 8 1/2 X 11 with full 1/4 inch bleeds.

PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE ANY REFERENCE TO MDA / the MDA Ambassadors or the MDA logo in this ad.

  I know! I honestly like an open contest better. But so many people will complain because they think others steel their ideas. next time I will definitely do an open contest.

What exactly is the deal customers are getting? In other words, what is the asterisk, because "Free stuff for a month"-type statements have to have a couple paragraphs of clarifications.

  We intend to add the fine print once the winner is selected. We don't want to publish that in the open forum.

Sir, but what your audience needs to do to have a month of free products? It is important to put this in the ad? I believe so.

So sorry to bother, but could you give feedback? I'm new to this and can't properly gauge what the client wants yet. I'd like to know what I did wrong.

I have extended the contest 3 days ... this should allow us more time to evaluate the entries. We have received quite a few. If I rated your entry as a 1 or 2 - this means you missed the mark. Go back and read the brief. It may also mean it is much too basic. Some entries are Amazing and some are just very plain and boring. I don't mean offense to anyone - this is a tough decision for us - but we do appreciate EVERY entry!! Even if we rate it low - it just means there are better options for this ad that we have received. Thank you so much!

it would be great if you upload the .JPG/PNG version of the PSDs you uploaded as these PSDs are almost of Half GB. For a quick view JPG/PNG is best. Thank you

  Yeah - but the layered psd contains all the graphics of the products which you need - so that's why I did it.

I would love to assist you, however, I work in Corel Draw, but am still able to submit the artwork to you in a variety of different formats if that is a possibility?

  sure that's fine ... I usually just like photoshop so we can do final edits here. but if you are willing to do any final edits then we are good with it.
