Newspaper ad

This project was a newspaper ad for the collegio newspaper. I first had to figure out what  size the collegio's column inches were.
According to the collegio newspaper the column widths are:
1 = 1.83"
2 = 3.79"
3 = 5.75"
4 = 7.71"
6 = 11.63"
5 = 9.67"



Requirements for the project are as follows
    -       No bleeds 
    -       Minimum of .125 margins
    -       Black & White only (No color)
    -       Size according to your Budget: maximum $197
     -    Bitmap format

My specifications for the ad was:

5 col x 9" = 45    45 x $4 = $180
5 column inches = 9.67 inches
my final dimensions was 9.67" x 9"

My target audience is all the Pittstate Students and the community.
My call to action was to visit the website for more information and promotion through a coupon.

This is what my ad looked like before on screen critic (class critics our work and comes up with ideas that may help)
