Newspaper Ad Design Brief
I need an ad to be inserted into the bulletins of churches and synagogues where families might have an interest in my services. I provide assistance to families with children applying to college who have aspirations of attending the most competitive colleges in the U.S. I need something the size of a business card that contains enough information to be enticing and explanatory and is presented in an easy-to-read manner. It needs to have a great deal of class (although I do like color) so as to convey the fact that I am trustworthy and knowledgeable. It needs to be camera ready and also in jpeg. Please go to my website for an example of the clean, colorful style that appeals to me.

Nice to have
