    Hi

    Another one of my fantastic contests for everyone!!

    ---

    Some of you may have seen the contest for the 'TopGear' Logo. This was a client of mine who needed a logo for their exhaust and car garage. He now needs an advert for yellow pages 'printed company directory' in UK.

    It will be aimed towards people wanting custom exhausts for their cars etc. It will be full colour and 125mm x 65mm.

    It needs to stand out in the directory, so be creative and surprise me!!
    I have attached below the file for the business card design.. You may choose to use this background and style but it is entirely up to you. You can also take the logo from this file.

    http://www.nerox.co.uk/other/topgear.psd

    Remember I am saying you MAY try basing the advert off that business card concept, but if you want your design to stand out from the crowd then maybe go for something different.

    The advert should include something like:

    TopGear Performance fit quality stainless steel custom/performance systems for all makes of vehicles - petrol or diesel.

    Designed and manufactured on site and fitted while-u-wait.

    Guaranteed for life. Sports exhausts available for your luxury/performance car.

    -----

    That was all just made up by me and obviously the company will want something different, so leave room for changes.

    Obviously also the address. the telephone number should be in large text.
    There should be an illistration of an exhaust, or you may find some here you could use http://images.google.co.uk/images?h...tainless+steel+exhausts&sa=N&start=18&ndsp=18

    Here is a photo of competitor adverts, so you could use these to get an idea of style and how other people have done theirs.

    i think our design is stolen here, maybe he just got the ide replicate it and the rest is history, its also hard to track out where he put the design

    Hi
    I'm afraid I have to correct you on this.
    The client did not get back to me about a design that it liked from the entries in time. I then went skiing for 4 weeks and have just returned home today (hence me being inactive for so long). I am contacting the client to see what the issue is. I have good itrader and do not steal artwork, I am shocked to see people assuming that is the case.
