I recently created a gum ad poster with a photo I took myself of a
gum packet. Using Photoshop, I edited the poster and created a splash
effect for the gum, this effect gives the poster a dynamic feel. I had
to fit the required copy within the coupon cut outs with corresponding
gum packets for each, so I had to brainstorm how to layout my content. I
wanted to achieve balance in the design to ensure that the text and
images were properly aligned and proportionate. The use of negative
space helps to emphasize the gum packet’s splash effect and creates a
clean, uncluttered overall look. In the end I was really happy with how
this advertisement came out.
