My 2 cents .. is a group project but here is my input Not too word.. simple is better.. the Ron Paul Revolution should be on it in some way.. b/c that is the campaign slogan.. also a LARGE photo of Paul would be good IMO
Zip... Brevity of message and the photo as the eye catcher. You and I think alike. Zip, send money. hehehehe
:P I used to make pamphlets and ads when I worked in my former job.. too many words and people get on overload and just move on.. few words... one MAYBE two photos but thats it.. also his name needs to be LARGE for thats what is wanted NAME recognition .. and to connect the slogan to the name
Help us nominate Congressman Ron Paul! Paid for by the members of www.Freedom4um.Com. Not affiliated with the Ron Paul campaign. For more information about Ron Paul, visit his website at www.ronpaul2008.com. Here's my contribution to the idea. With a little tweaking, I think it might be good.
Not bad - better than my feeble efforts. You have better layout tools too. Given Hitlery's high negatives even among the Dem's makes the case as to how stark the choice is. I still like my "tag line" though - tweaking it: "In The Spirit of Liberty - Ron Paul '08". My reasoning being that one of the high positives of Ron Paul is his adherence to the Constitution and Jeffersonian principles. That is a connection that seems to run consistently through his appeal. Perhaps across the the bottom 2 font sizes up from the basic text. I would bring the the votes against the Patriot Act and the Real ID closer to the top - just under the opposition to the war. My reasoning being that we want to establish a connection with people who are not yet Ron Paul Voters. In the same vein I would suggest bringing the Bill of Rights up to the number 2 slot under Bring home the troops immediately. Also as a suggestion would be to add a little to it i.e., "Honor the Consitution and Restore the Bill of Rights". That of course connects with the "In The Spirit of Liberty" tag line.
excellent suggestions..now, since the ad is limited to 4x6, will the text be too tiny to see?
We may have to do some pruning. Certainly the anti-war, and pro-Bill of Rights should stay. While eliminating the FED is important to those of us already aware of the bigger issues moving the current scene to someone not up on it abolishing the FED, even if they know what it is, is an issue who's significance would, from simple lack of knowledge, elude them. Condensing it down to a list like Wudidiz's would work within the size limitations.
As promised: I need a proofreader to double check my spelling. I can read it a thousand times and not see the obvious, like just now, I had to change to "candidate" from "candidan". Don't ask how I got that or missed it ten times... lol
Patriot Acts or Patriot Act? ...who can beat her, according to the polls. Maybe this can be improved/changed?
Please see post 365. I thought those were all peppa's comments. I saw his post first.
Just trying to help. You want nit-picky? Talk to me. LOL I'll give you nit-picky 'til the freegin' cows come home... ;)
Some suggested changes implemented:
Help us nominate Ron Paul! Personally, I think this part is too busy. Perhaps simplify/streamline it? Maybe delete 'according to the polls'? (not really necessary?) Also, 'nominate' shouldn't be used twice in two sentences, imho. Using two colors, say, red and blue on the white background could improve it's appeal? I dunno, I might be wrong, but those are my thoughts. Otherwise, it still looks great!
We're dealing in black and white newsprint, right? I was operating under that assumption. I think color costs more. I could asterisk the claim, and put "*according to polls blah blah blah" at the bottom somewhere.
Critter I believe was in color. May I say you have done very well with this.
