728 (W) x 79 (H) pixels
50 Kb or smaller file size
.gif, .jpeg, .png file types allowed
no animated gifs, no flash.
no nudity, no strong sexual themes, no adult language.
no direct suggestions of sexual theme at all.
innuendo (closed eyes, smile, facial expression) ok, but no directly implied sexual activity of any kind.
nothing placed sideways or upside down or blatantly eye grabbing via geometry.
designers may only use stock photos that they have the rights to and that are free and convey
colors should be clean, subdued, professional - no neon anything.
fonts are to be similarly clean and do not need to match ad company's website (ashleycoopercoffee.com)
clean, uncluttered look and layout
lots of white is likely better - white robe, white coffee cup and saucer
white coffee cup with steaming fresh coffee is key element
attractive adult-aged woman's face is also key element
our idea (we will consider other properly themed ideas):
woman just waking imagines her morning cup of steaming coffee to come
or is enjoying her first sip of same
thought bubble says "fresh roasted is better..." or "fresh roasted is best" or "ahhh, fresh roasted" type thing
this "fresh" tagline's font should be largest font found in ad (text lines listed below are smaller)
company's main competitive advantage is that their coffee is roasted and shipped within 24 hours
ad's central theme must be "fresh roasted" coffee
additional text to be included:
descriptive text #1 (minor variations invited):
Home Delivered Coffee (Whole Bean or Ground) Ships Within 24 Hours of Roasting.
company name text #2 (no variations):
Ashley & Cooper Coffee Roasters

Hi.. do you have any logo?
Rhinofish
11-29-2006, 04:47 PM
The site this banner will be used to advertise for is here:
www.ashleycoopercoffee.com
But the banner ad you design need not include the logo from the company nor match the website's logo, colors, fonts. It's okay if you try it, it's just not a requirement at all.

Not bad, but am looking for more emphasis on the main theme - fresh roasted coffee.
From my initial specs:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
thought bubble says "fresh roasted is better..." or "fresh roasted is best" or "ahhh, fresh roasted" type thing
this "fresh" tagline's font should be largest font found in ad (text lines listed below are smaller)
company's main competitive advantage is that their coffee is roasted and shipped within 24 hours
ad's central theme must be "fresh roasted" coffee
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You're missing the main element...
The brand / company name is not well known, so emphasizing the company name (your largest font) isn't going to catch people's eyes.
The main element should be the largest font (not the company name).
And more importantly, the first thing people should "see" is that "fresh roasted" is worth trying...
We feel strongly that the main idea for this banner is presenting "fresh roasted" - it is our clients main competitive advantage - that's where all designers need to focus the most effort.
I think the woman's face / coffee cup should be larger and more easily seen - more close up shot than what you have, but you didn't miss that by much regarding size.
I do like what you did for free coffee sample on the right hand side.
I do like the general feel and color tones.
Thank you for your first try, I am pleased it happened so quickly and while I do have lots of feedback here, your effort is of good quality.
Look forward to seeing it come to life as we progress.

I also noted that the size is off - specs are:
728 (W) x 79 (H) pixels
Yours appears to be 600 x 65.
bogglins
11-30-2006, 06:50 AM
yes.. i designed them exactly in 728 x 79
the images here are just for presentation purposes..
:)
Rhinofish
11-30-2006, 06:58 AM
thanks for explaining the size issue to me.
second effort is much improved, I like the tab look along the bottom - it breaks things up nicely and I also find it drawing my eyes to the different text lines.
you are still missing the "fresh roasted" element - the key concept to the whole banner project. perhaps a third tab could be used for the home delivered element you have shown as main element and, instead, use the center area to focus on "fresh roasted" idea...
bogglins
11-30-2006, 07:58 AM
my last attempt.. :)
Rhinofish
11-30-2006, 09:39 AM
All the elements are there, excellent. I feel that a little more emphasis is needed on how she feels... a smile... a closer up view of her perhaps...
If you need more space (it's getting a little noisy) to achieve more emphasis on her and her thoughts, consider the "Home Delivered Coffee (Whole Bean or Ground)" text as optional.
But this one, as is, is defintely a strong contender.
Thank you.

If you like, please submit variations on "fresh roasted is better...".
Maybe try "mmm, fresh roasted..."
Due date is Dec 13th, so hope to see others submit as well. I like the high bar that has been set. If no others are submitted, I'll be pleased to declare this design the winner.
Rhinofish
11-30-2006, 11:54 AM
By the way, I wanted to add that my team was thinking "white" colors and we said so in the specs. We'd still like to see somebody submit something with lots of white - especially the cup / saucer.
But I want to say that bogglins' design thoroughly impressed us with a clever array of browns and related hues that seem to scream "coffee" to us all. Smart.
Creativity in design is welcomed.
bogglins
11-30-2006, 04:26 PM
yes.. sure we can change that text on the bubble later... once i'm selected as the project winner.. thanks!

Just for information's sake, the banner is for Google AdWords, the Leaderboard size (728x90), trimmed slightly (728x79) so that it retains its original proportions (without G's auto-resizing).
See common sizes here - both full size and the recommended sizes to prevent auto-resizing:

Love the beans! Like the closer up view of the woman!
Would like to see the "ahhh" more prominent... perhaps put it above the company name, and make the company name a tad smaller...
"ahhh" font color is fine, but I find it hard to read (meaning I have to try too hard to read it - it doesn't seem to subliminally enter my mind). Can you try a slightly more legible font.
Colors, layout, space, clean feeling is all good. In bottom bar, try swtiching from all caps to make it more readable please. And try to somehow insert a break between ther "home delivered..." line and the "ships..." line (they run together now).
Thanks for submitting!
I'll be checking things every day including weekends until the due date.
~~~~~~~~~~
One last question, same woman picture as the other submitter... I'm new here at Design Outpost... please confirm that this picture is just normal, common, licensed stock and it's not an unusual thing for different designers to have the same picture in the design... because I'm new, just want to make sure this is kosher?
Taking the coffee bag picture from the Ashley website is fine - all good - by chance (I don't know every image on my client's website), did the woman come from the Ashley website and create the coincidence?
Rhinofish
12-02-2006, 09:58 AM
Also, thank you for posting image in the 728x79 spec'd size!
That helps us evaluate things much better. If getting jacked is a concern, feel free to add watermarks or whatever. But my team really appreciates reviewing the spec'd size so we can make a better informed decision.

Asparagus, all changes you made (especially font changes) were excellent improvements. Thank you. Suggest 2 more changes:
1) Change "Ahhh" to "Mmmm".
2) Swap the "Ashley..." text with the "Ships Within..." text. Leave layout and everything the same, just stress the fresh roasted idea by putting the "Ships within..." text nearby the "Mmm..." line by putting it where you put the name (and tuck the company name into the lower right corner where the "Ships..." was).
Rhinofish
12-03-2006, 03:42 PM
Erika, your design's clean looks is excellent but there are several areas that need improvement. Hope you have the time to consider them.
The woman... she evokes happy, smiling, attractive, but not the feeling of drinking something delicious... the picture needs replacing likely because its focus seems off topic.
Coffee cup and saucer... colors are perfect and what we had envisioned, but it's so large here that it's not obviously seen. Among the noise that wil be on the web pages where our ad appears, we need the "coffee" theme to be jumping off the ad. Include more of the cup so it's obvious that it is a cup of coffee, or search for a replacement picture that displays and conveys better.
Background colors, font color, font styles - you hit those all right on the first try. :-) The fade background gives the ad depth, good job. And you're "Ahhh" text leaps off the page, yet isn't neon. Excellent job there!
There are many elements we liked about your design, but we presently score it in third place. We welcome more input from you of course, but wanted to let you know much improvement would be needed here to compete with the others seen so far.

Erika
Rhinofish
12-03-2006, 07:05 PM
Asparagus, your design's theme is the strongest and the balance and layout and overall feel is clearly the front runner.
Bogglins, your tabs along the bottom are well liked by everyone who has seen your design here in our office. You are clearly a close second.
Erika, your design has improved considerably, here's some more feedback. The coffee cup size is much better, considering filling it with steaming coffee versus beans - it's the coffee's taste (even though we are selling the beans you picked to show) that is the experience we are trying to capture / convey. 2 of 5 reviewers here asked if that was a glass of milk in her hand... her face, image's size, mental imagery (Mmmm, coffee) is much improved, but still not quite as good as the other two designs.
To all, thank you very much, things are shaping up very, very nicely. Your efforts are outstanding, very much appreciated and our Design Outpost experience is a rich one because of your efforts and creativity.
The bar continues to climb, but there's still lots of time left. We think the key to others competing going forward is likely centered on the image of "her"... search the stock files you have access to and see if there's a match that you can find to make our job of picking a winner even tougher!

12-04-2006, 07:46 AM
krishm, thanks for submitting. some feedback for you.
the large beans don't work at all, in 1a and 1c especially (they look like couch cushions).
the company name is not well known, so make it smaller, much smaller - the space is likely better used emphasizing the "fresh roasted" theme.
the lines you have behind the "Ahhh..." text - on the background matte, were a good idea to try, but we don't like them.
the woman picture... which is the centerpiece of the design and must shine with the "fresh roasted" theme... you picture isn't bad, but is not as good as the leading designs. When my team looks at your "woman" picture, they say it evokes "ahhh, warm coffee" (she's cold?) or "i've got a secret" (she seems to be looking slyly at somebody or some situation?). A better picture is needed.

Mike, excellent "woman" picture. Some suggestions for you.
Moved "Shipped Within 24..." text up into main area, move company name ("Ashley..." text) down into bottom bar.
Move "Fresh..." text, that's already in the main area, to top of main area (with "Shipped Within..." below it).
Since moving them will create two lines in the bottom bar, please do something to break the two text lines in the bottom bar so they don't run together.
All this is because the "Fresh..." text must be most prominent, and the second most important text is the "Ships Within..." line (it reinforces / explains what we mean by "fresh" and is the company's strongest selling advantage).
The top rim of the coffee cup looks pixelated, needs some blending / fixing.
The left hand blue bar needs reworking. I'd say make it a tad smaller, decrease the size of the word "free", and play with colors, font and layout. The weakest point in your submission is the left hand blue area - all else is very strong.
Thank you for joining the contest.

1) Mike / ElKootcho - outstanding revision! Have no more feedback for you other than trying the alternate "Mmm, fresh roasted." tagline, but you need not revise for this purpose now, we can visualize it as is.
2) Spec reminder (just in case) - file size must be 50kB or less.
3) If the contest ended today... it doesn't end until Dec 13th, one more week to go!... Asparagus (post #24) and ElKootcho (post #42) would win. We are awarding two winnners, each gets $75. There are other strong designs that we hope to see revised and we are hopeful that there's more submissions to come as well.

I thought I'd just try and fancy my design up a bit. I was afraid the cream background was maybe a bit too plain, so I gave it a slight texture. I also gave the "Mmmm" text a slight shadow to hopefully bring it up off the banner. Give it a bit of depth, you know?

Asparagus,
+Like the texture and "Mmm" font shadowing - keep that. The texture is a tad on the heavy side, but just a tad - might shallow it a hair, but as is, it's an improvement over your original which did (with benefit of hindsight now) seem to lack depth.
+The font change you made to bottom right - prefer the first version (post #24), I find all caps hard to read - some on my team disagree, but I veto'd them - switch that back please.
+The font change you made to left circle - we prefer your first version (post #24) but feel free to continue experimenting there if you wish. The second version (post #44) draws the eyes, we want "Mmm" to be the undisputed star attraction and the font reminds us of old-fashioned things... which can cut many ways in the coffee market, we'd prefer not to cut age demographics and we want to downplay the free circle font there anyhow.
You might play with the blue color along the bottom and try a coffee-like color if you want to go overboard pleasing us. It seems now to connect with the blue bag and downplay the bag as it is - which we like. Play if you like, but I'm getting real picky here now with you. :-)

12-06-2006, 11:41 AM
Krishm, post #45 is improved in many ways. Here's some more feedback for you.
Sorry to again say this, but the woman picture isn't right for us - she looks to young. Note post #32 and #44 woman picture - they also appear young'ish but have a qualitry about them that spans a reasonably wide adult age range. Your "woman" picture has a low-side age estimate (according to my team, where we guessed her low and high age range... and we're not kids anymore) of earlier than college age. If you have the time, the search for your "woman" picture is not yet over.
The dotted line distracted us, color it brown? The rest of the color scheme and elements could be rearranged a little to highlight our "Ahh..." and "Ships Within..." texts (see earlier feedback) and we liked the gradient / shading background thing... but your work begins with "her".
Thanks, hope to see more from you.

Erika, post #50 is a vast improvement, some feedback for you.
The "Ships within..." text is central to the theme and we feel it should come right after the "Ahh..." line - one explains the other. Try to rearrange the "Ships within..." text to make it punch #2 in the 2 punch combo we're trying to deliver.
Coffee cup image - we love this element. Seems to be too much blank space to it's left (on the other side of the free thing), think about showing more of the cup.
If you slide the "Ships within..." under the "Ahhh...", it should make room. Then drop the "Home delivered..." down to the bottom bar. Then rework that bar to downplay it and it's contents (which are less important than the other elements).
Thanks.
Rhinofish
12-08-2006, 07:13 AM
Krishm, much improved! Some feedback for you.
The company name and the quoted text above it makes it seem that it's a quote and it's source, which is not the case. Make the text under "Ahh..." be the "Ships within..." text. Move the company name to your bar and downplay it somewhat.
Your "woman" has improved a lot in your revisions. She's age appropriate, attractive, eye-catching and more, but she still lacks a little something. We try to judge "it" here by guessing what's on her mind... and it's not the coffee... we can't explain it, so our feedback is poor here - sorry about that. This may sound horribly picky for a $75 banner, but her expression is what we are relying on to get people to even look at the banner. Could you do some photoshop trick to make her seem to be focused on the coffee? Re-aim her eyes at/into the cup maybe... add a smile or better yet, a sly smirk that says "I know something you don't, this coffee rocks". We're not exactly sure what is needed, just that something is. Look at post #42 and #48, these "women" pics have "it". Your "woman" pic is close to having "it", but not quite. One team member here says your "woman" is thinking about how much she hates her job and she's thinking about being someplace else. I think that's it's her eyes saying exactly that.
Thanks for your revision!

Erika, good stuff. Only one item where we have feedback - the lettering on your blue free star-shaped thing is hard to read. Thnat element is weak, while the rest is strong. Focus there if you've like to submit another revision. As is, it doesn't seem to fit with everything else, as such, it stands out too much. Blend it in somehow so that the headline items to it's left get all of the intial attention.
Thanks!

krishm,
4bf3 (the second one), has "it".
You might try changing her top from green to white, but not very important.
The bean next to her shoulder looks bad, kill it or flip it (flipped, it'd show the bean's seam and be more recognizable as a bean - separated as it is, it looks like a lump of dirt).
Great work, thanks.

I have made the "Free coffee" offer more neutral by changing the background color to a metallic gradient. I have also reshaped it so that the text is bigger, making it easier for someone to read.

krishm,
4bf3 (the second one), has "it".
You might try changing her top from green to white, but not very important.
The bean next to her shoulder looks bad, kill it or flip it (flipped, it'd show the bean's seam and be more recognizable as a bean - separated as it is, it looks like a lump of dirt).
Great work, thanks.
Hello 4bf3 is third one banner on which you need changes..AM I right?
If so here You go!! :)
Regards!

Erika,
Post #58 and #59 both improved on the previous blue free element. We like the silver one in #58 better, seems to be easy to pick up and read, but somehow leaves the more important elements as the stars.
We have no futher improvement suggestions to your #58, it's strong.
Thanks!

Krishm,
From post #60, we like them both. The color change you did to her top is good. We have a slight preference for the second one, 4bf3-2, with one suggested change below.
On the right hand side, in the "free..." circle, we feel the angled text draws too much attention. We'd like to see a version of 4bf3-2 that has the "free..." text horizontal (like it is in 4bf3-1).
Thanks!

Mike / ElKootcho, regarding your post #61, we absolutely love them both, no changes needed at all. Everyone else is competing for the other first place prize (we're awarding two winners). We are blown away by your work submitted for us here. Thank you!

Krishm, we like them both and consider the second one, ch2f, to need no further changes, it's good as is. We have no further feedback for you, it's a strong competitor.
Thank you!

Due date is tomorrow, Wednesday, Dec 13th. We'll be picking and announcing on the 14th - leaving all day on the 13th open for more input. I have to be out of office all day on the 13th, but will check in here in the evening in case there's any last minute questions. Other than that, winners (2) to be announced here on Thursday, 14th, hopefully before lunch time.

Krishm, I see here and in Private Messages (PM) that you emailed to me several hours ago, hasn't arrived here yet. I suppose it may be getting filtered / blocked somewhere (even though I have all filtering turned off). Can you PM me the files or a link to grab the files please? If the email arrives later today, I'll let you know.

Abby / Moderator,
All files have been received from both winners and no revisions were needed. So everything's done, completed and wonderful. Go ahead and release funds and close this project out and move to archives.
Thank you! We are very pleased with everything that has transpired here!
