Mate - no good for the racers !! They don't read it becasue they all think Ken Wootton is a tosser !! - and if the racers aren't reading it, then basically nobody is !!!

Righti-o... I had a crack at a 1/4 page ad.

I'm no graphic designer so these are a starting point at least.

Feedback appreciated

EXCELLENT WORK THAT MAN !!

thats awesome stuff there Cap'n Kandy !!!!!! They would look huuuuge in a magazine, especially that last one !!



BTW there is *no* truth in the rumour that the KSRC logo was modelled from my avatar photo !

FMD !!

thought i'd have a dig. never done anything like this before so please be nice, and sorry if i've used a pic i shouldnt have or if anyones unhappy with me copying (maybe updating a little) the ksrc banner logo.

kinda stopped working on it after seeing red_dave's tasty samples

I really like the second one of red_dave's.
I'm not really keen on the "for free membership" phrase, especially as the free bit was mentioned elsewhere. Other than that I like it, and I love the choice of pics. Top stuff

Definitely the second one ..... can be tweaked a little but otherwise its a really good representation.... we need a road riding pic in there?

i will dontate my sparky pic if you like
but maybe that will attract bad rep

i have a couple of action shots. i'll have a lookw hen i get home.

or what about Phil's "descending Hordes" pic from the culinary delights tour last Supers??

Yep, something depicting an apparently responsible group ride eg the descending hordes would be good. If you put anything in that suggests hooning around on the road i reckon it'll be negative, particularly given our increased involvement from the big K. AMCN's run the photo before s they obviously think it' s got some appeal.

Eye Candy's second attempt is good. It's got the group facet, the track day/racing thing, just replace Rods ugly mug with a group riding shot . I also reckon ditch the free reference, makes it sound like there's a catch

haha i reckon they are all good! haha i had a chuckle at the last one

Playing devils advocate, do we want to get bigger?
And what is the advantage?

Don't know about advertising but can this be the next t-shirt

I think we are a little short for 1/4 page add in AMCN..

...

ouch!
Dave, shrink it a bit then..... 6th page?
maybe 2 columns?

oh and a bit of feedback too-
had the sales/mktg mgr have a looksee at some of the mockups, his comments-
...good starting point (eg Red_Daves example 2 or 3) for this ad. Its bright,
attention grabbing, you get all the info in about 15 secs scanning the ad
AND best of all...ITS MEMORABLE!

looking terrific imho
good effort guys


cheers
