In my 20 years in the industry, I have worked for international ad agencies and international companies as ad exec, marketing manager and strategist. I am now a semi-retired corporate consultant who is paid handsomely. I'm not fishing for a job; I'm not playing games, and I'm not throwing...

Dear, I have answered the question in every single post. It appears you don't have enough experience in this field to understand the terminology. I've repeatedly explained my position. You have clearly indicated you are not interested in improvement. I wish you the best with your...

Clearly, I did, and "designs" and "creative" - as used in the industry - both refer to graphic design and not message. When on refers to message - or "issues" as you call it - one will typically use the term "message," "copy" or sometimes "text". No, I'm not "miffed" at all. It frustrates...

Jay, please check your PM. .

LOL...that's not a bumper sticker. As stated in the post, it is header art for a newsprint ad. I was simply providing sample alternative background for consideration. .

Hi, Harold, I have 20 years in the ad and marketing industry as a strategist. If I had to guess their intent, the advice was probably to use the black and white combo without the color, which makes a powerful visual statement. When you add red and blue to black, it changes the perception...

To clarify, I mean using the same or similar background design and change the copy to your needs. .

Billboards, from a visual perspective, the black, red and blue are a bit harsh. Have you considered replacing your black with a dark blue? If they are full color, would you consider working with a design such as the following, which was recently used in a CA newsprint ad and will be used in TX...
