Bad ads? If you’ve been around more than 30 minutes, I’m almost certain that you have encountered bad ads. Print, broadcast or social — they exist….. Beautifully designed ads that are diminished by omitting the phone number, physical address, or reducing text so small that it becomes indiscernible in printed form, or the mystery commercial. The one that leaves you wondering ‘what were they even promoting’? International advertisers use the mystery commercial formula frequently, surely it’s to overcome a multi country language barrier.

Welcome to image alignment! The best way to demonstrate the ebb and flow of the various image positioning options is to nestle them snuggly among an ocean of words. Grab a paddle and let’s get started. The image above happens to be centered. The rest of this paragraph is filler for the sake of seeing the text wrap around the 150×150 image, which is left aligned. As you can see the should be some space above, below, and to the right of the image. The text should not be creeping on the image. Creeping is just not right. Images need breathing room too. Let them speak likeRead More →
