A little bit about me

My name is Eva Wilderman (Schenk) and I'm currently attending my last semester at Pittsburg State University. Upon completion I will have my Bachelors of science in technology with a major in commercial graphics. I started this blog not only for a class assignment but also to create a portfolio of my work for future references.

Image Copyright:
The picture in my publication ad was taken by me, the font used is leafystencil from fontspace.com as a free download, the vector text divide on the logo is a illustrator symbol. 

Target Audience:
The target audience for my publication ad is musicians and instrumentalists that need strings for their instruments. 

Call to Action:
To purchase cold leaf strings. There isn't a web page or a specific music store listed because the strings are available in any store that sell quality strings. 

Project Specifications:
We were to find specifications for ads for magazines. These specifications will tell you what size with bleed and margin your ad needs to be. My ad ended up being 8.625" x 11.125" with bleed. The trim size is 8.375" x 10.875" and the live area is 7.875"x 10.375"

Collegio Ad

Our assignment was to create an ad for the collegio, the size of the ad was up to us as long as we stayed within our budget of $197. My original ad was a different size than my final ad but the final cost was the same. Originally my ad was 6 column inches by 8 inches and came to 192 dollars, which was five dollars under budget. After having Christel look over my current ad she suggested I change it to portrait and rearrange a few things, so my final product does not match my roughs but it looks ten times better.

Specifications
4"X12"=48     48X$4=$192
4 column inches is equal to 7.71 inches
My final ad dimensions are 7.71X12

Target Audience:
My target audience is anyone that goes to gas stations. This includes vehicle owners, cigarette smokers, coffee drinkers, and anyone that needs to pick up something rather than deal with going to wal-mart. I don't think I know of anyone that hasn't been to a gas station for something.

Call To Action:
The call to action is for the target audience to come to this new business.
