Print ADs for Donna's Home Furnishings

I occasionally do some freelance work for BrightBox, which is a Houston-area marketing and branding company. Donna's Home Furnishings is one of their accounts that I've had the privilege to work on. These ads are just a small sample of the ads that I've design for Donna's. Donna's has an established brand, so it was important that my designs be consistent with previous designs. I was given photos to select from, copy from BrightBox's copywriter and the month's design direction by my production manager and then the layout and design of the ads were left to me. Being the daughter of an interior designer, I especially loved working on these (and lusted after all of the beautiful furniture!).

Postcard, Side 2

Bright colors and fun graphics was most important to the client.  Because the AD is published on newsprint, we wanted really bright colors to help it stand out against the dull paper.  We also think the bright colors help the postcard stand out in a pile of mail.
