Contest Banner Ad - Paying $100 Instant Payment via PayPal! Runner Up Gets $25

I am looking for a fun and creative 1/4 page ad that is 3.7" Wide and 4.8" high - thus there is plenty of room to be creative.

The ad is for a Hawaii free iPhone app that helps people to learn where to shop, eat, stay, and more when on the island.

The color scheme is blue and orange. You can view our website at this URL:

We are looking for a fun ad, possibly something like an iPhone sitting in a beach chair with a drink on a table under an umbrella, or an iPhone surfing in a wave, or anything else you may come up with that links the iPhone to fun Hawaii activities.

There should be a bold and easy to read text that says: Hawaii Guide Me - The most downloaded Hawaii travel app is yours for free.

The image should also say at the bottom: Available for free on the iPhone App Store

This contest will be for 48 hours! I will pay the winner instantly via PayPal and the runner up will receive $25 instantly via PayPal.

I look forward to seeing your entries!

Hey!
Thanks for this awesome competition; here is my entry, hope you like it!

 

@brainsurgeon's - Please post your entry in this thread, and I will provide feedback.

@Arsonline - I am having a very hard time seeing the concept, also the add looks like 90% text with an outline of an iPhone, this is not ideal for us, but I do appreciate your entry.

To everyone: please post your entry in the thread

 

Hi,

Oh it was basically Hawaii Beach Sand with an iPhone drawn in it. I guess since I had to explain the concept, it really isn't that clear. Oh well I appreciate your feedback .

 

Here's my go at it :

The yellow lines are just for watermark :

The design is completely created in Photoshop there's no image used here.

 

My entry!



Feedback Appreciated.

 

Hi,

Here is mine




Feedback pls....

 

@Moogle! - Good work. I like your elements of Hawaii and the deepth of the overall ad.

@Nasweefpn - Sorry, your art work is not in line with our needs.

@JTL - Very well done! These look quite professional.

 

I should be able to do this well since I'm from Hawaii. I'm in. Here's my go:

 

wait my entry

 

Since you did not offer a feedback for my design guess you did not like it .

Here's a revision of my design :

 

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Took hours for me to find the right photo to use for the background.

Edit:




I made a couple of revisions and cleaned it up, please let me know what you think.

Regards,
Mia

 

Best so far IMO.

 

@brainsurgeon - The concept is nice, but the execution is not ideal for us. It is very hard, if not impossible to read the text

@Moogle! - I liked the first version better as the text was easier to read. Also, can you help to make the word free stand out a bit more? Possibly give it a slight angle, underline it and add an exclamation point? Thanks!

 

Thanks for the feedback.

Here's my revision :



I can add the flower etc to the iPhone to make it look more Hawaiian, if you want to see that in the concept..

Thanks

Regards,
Jay

@divineworld - Thanks for the entry. It is quite nice, however, we already have a logo and yours, while I like it, does not match. Can you try to use our logo in place of the font you used forthe name. Also the text on the top and bottom are hard to see not sure if you can find a way to make this easier to read but there is so much going on behind it it gets a bit lost. I dont even see the word free unless I look hard for it. Thanks!
