Hi all. Read about this site on a lawncare forum and am so happy to find it. The yellow pages needs my ad copy in ONE WEEK ! I am amazed by the work I have seen here and really want my ad to stand out.

I have quickly put together the text I would like to see in the add and a pic I took myself and have used for flyers etc which you can use if you like. Also my logo is included. If I go with a full color ad it costs a bit more then 2 colour or 1 colour so if you use more then the 2 colors (black and yellow) really go nuts and use a photo. The only thing I might ad is that the main thing that is different about my company is that I am pesticide free, and use organics. So if that "feeling" came across so much the better.

Ill talk to the yellow pages again tomorrow, your guess as to format is as good as mine. Keep it simple Im guessing (jpeg)

Here is what I need in the ad, in no particular order :

Organic Lawncare Programs - organic fertilizer programs with free pH test and lawn analysis.

Also offering scheduled lawn cutting and maintenance with new low emissions equipment.

I have a logo I need in the ad but it isnt letting me cut and paste it. I also cant seem to ad the file. So I need some help getting you my logo plz. My logo is on my webpage but its a little streached out for some reason. AD SIZE IS 4 INCHES WIDE BY 2.5 INCHES TALL I have a pic of a bee on a sunflower I would like to upload also. All the pics on my website are ones I took and u can use. I have bigger file versions if u need them.

$75.00 !! to winner ty !

If you are having problems attaching any files then feel free to email them to me michael[at]2square.co.uk but as I'm with a client this morning I'm only just checking in. You could even email them to palmer[at]designoutpost.com but he won't be around for another 4-5 hours or so.

I should be back on online in about 1-2 hours

quick attempt to attach my logo

organic lawnguy · #5 02-19-2004, 07:06 AM

here is a pic I took of a bee you can use in the ad. I have the original drum scan of a slide if you want a bigger image for quality.

organic lawnguy · #6 02-19-2004, 07:11 AM

Im on a role, one more pic, check my website for more pics (I took them all) and an idea about what I do. ty lots!

organic lawnguy · #7 02-19-2004, 07:17 AM

I realize the 2 yellows from the pics and from the logo dont match too well. Remember, if you want just use the logo and do a 2 color ad if you like, One more pic you can use, again I have the original scan so can get a bigger image if nec. this is for a 4 inch wide by 2.5 inch high yellow pages ad. ty

Just talked to the sales rep at yellow pages, they want it as a Tiff or EPS. Im not sure if I gave you the jpeg or tiff version of my logo. If I gave you jpeg and you need or want Tiff let me know.

I need to have an ad by Wednesday afternoon. Wed Feb. 25. to get it into the book. ty!

imageconstrux · #13 02-19-2004, 10:23 AM

I don't know if these will help, but if they will, please feel free to use them. I have high res pics (3.5M each) of both.

There's a zip file a few posts back. I think it's in there.

VisualSense · #17 02-19-2004, 11:51 AM

hmm, I downloaded that and that only contains 2 of the bee pictures...

-Diane

Palmer · #18 02-19-2004, 12:11 PM

Hmmm, that's all he sent me in my email. I thought one of them was the logo. I just saved the attachments, zipped them up and uploaded. I didn't look to see what they were.

Sorry

VisualSense · #19 02-19-2004, 12:20 PM

It's ok

Yeah, the one in the post is a bit too low res for printing....
I'll use that one for now as a "for placement only" type thing
-Diane

organic lawnguy · #20 02-19-2004, 12:52 PM

I dont even know what an eps is but I emailed a 1.5 meg tiff to palmer so he can post it for you. Ty and I have bigger and higher rez files of everything if you need them.
Also let me know if I gave you too much text. Leave some out if you want too.

VisualSense · #21 02-19-2004, 12:57 PM

Here's a design for you ad... I was thinking there was quite a bit of text, but I got it all in there. Let me know if there's any text you'd like removed from the ad

-Diane

Palmer · #22 02-19-2004, 01:02 PM

Here's the logo...

organic lawnguy · #23 02-19-2004, 01:17 PM

Visual, maybe its just me but the attachment didnt work I think. I just see a box with an x in it.

VisualSense · #24 02-19-2004, 01:40 PM

Sorry, I forgot to convert in from CMYK to RGB, sometimes that causes a viewing problem with jpegs

I've replaced the graphic in the post above

Hi

Here's my first submission to your contest. Feedback is appreciated

Best regards,
Gilles

organic lawnguy · #26 02-19-2004, 06:38 PM

Wow im so happy I did this, they look great. I knew I could to better than the "free inhouse design" I was offered.

Both designs are good and I bet now is not the time for details like this but in case it is:

Visual- I live on an island and the area code is the same everywhere so don;t need the area code I think. Also can you highlight - Organic fertilizer programs with free... since that is the main thing I do and main thing I want to sell. If you go to caps keep spelling of pH with the small case p.

Gilles- on the bottom its Vancouver Island's Pesticide-Free Alternative

organic lawnguy · #28 02-19-2004, 07:22 PM

DesignGeneral · #29 02-19-2004, 08:12 PM

working on it. I'll have something later.

Thanks

Virgil · #30 02-20-2004, 01:12 AM

Hello

Here are a few changes. As you can see, I kept the bee from your logo as a watermark

Let me know if you want me to change anything else. I will do the changes quickly

Best regards,
Gilles.
