ADVERTISING OES it pay to advertise? Yes, by all means! Cer- tainly advertising today is the quickest and surest way to arouse a desire in the public to possess the article for sale. It matters not whether it be a brand Se) eae of cough medicine or a make of car, the “ad” must laud it to the skies. The old saying “Repeat for emphasis” is proven true in advertising. Naturally, the more an article is advertised, the greater is the possibility of the public demanding it, and that is where results are realized which please the seller. Our great problem was to make our advertisements artistic and yet not lose any of the commercial value. We were spurred on by the Newark Art Club Lecture Poster Contests which gave prizes and honorable mentions. First we made rough sketches of ideas in color and developed the best into artistic posters which told a clear story. Our interesting class problems such as designing book jackets, folders, car ‘‘ads” for subjects like speed, power, beauty, etc., kept us busy thinking up new and interesting layouts. It was good sport, though hard work. Some of us who are going into commercial advertising work will be glad to have some of these smaller posters as well as layouts to use as samples.
