Actually, this ad is not quite finished. I want to add original art in the large space at the bottom. In real life I would choose the work of a student. I'm not sure how to incorporate, say a drawing, into the piece. When I did this kind of work in the olden days, I would make a photostat copy of the original art and paste it on with sticky wax. In the case of a photo, I would tape the exact size red transparency film onto the paste-up, mark the registration, and give the photo to the printer with my camera-ready copy. Something tells me that it isn't done that way nowadays. Anyway, I still need to add the drawing. Also, I chose a font that had a magical feel, "Herculanum." It doesn't have lower case letters, but the style fit the sort of magical spring, Walpurgis feel I wanted.Another thing--I learned from working in public schools that if you really want people to turn out for an event, you have to offer free food. Door prizes make it even better.
