To make our clients' print ads more exciting, our graphic designers usually add a stock photo image of some sort that relates to the message in the ad or keeps with the brand consistency of the client. So, to provide some direction to our designers, it's easier to do some initial stock photo searching for what we know our clients might go for ahead of time. And as Client Services folks, we really know what our clients like and don't like (no images that use people, use the logo only, etc.). This week, I've been struggling over the "perfect" image for a community-focused ad that will run in a non-profit's event program.
If you've searched for images on stock photo websites like http://www.istockphoto.com/, then you know that there are thousands of choices, colors, illustrations, and photos. Well it can be time consuming and difficult, especially if you have an idea of what you're looking for in your head, and it's not there!
We came up with 6 ad layouts, all using a stock image that says "community." That's a hard one, right? We'll see what the client chooses!
