Ad layout for Unique Thrift Store. This layout was designed for Unique Thrift while freelancing for the Free Times. The ad was designed from scratch, with the text supplied. Unique Thrift approved this ad on first draft.

Ad layouts for the Free Times (and any other weekly or daily publication) need to be completed within tight deadlines. Ninety percent of all ads seen in the Free Times are developed and designed in-house by the designers in the production department. This ad was designed on spec, which means the client decides on spending their money to advertise based on the layout concepts sent to them for approval.

The concept for this ad was simple: thrift stores thrive on bargain shoppers looking for unique or unusual goods at a bargain. Immediately an old-style bike came to mind, especially with the tall, narrow dimensions of the ad space. The bicycle clip art was downloaded and tinted, and the ad came together from there.
