Locals Only - Salesmen: Take Heed
Part VI in a series of reviews of very local advertising.
In the wrong hands, Photoshop is a very dangerous tool. Outer glows, drop shadows - I don't know where to start on this ad, which was the inside cover of one of those glossy locals that come in the mail for free, even though it says $3.95 on the cover. It's filled with fake features and advertorial profiles of local dentists and other assorted businesses. I know some people can't afford an ad agency or design firm, but if this business can afford the inside cover, maybe next time the salesman responsible for this atrocity can pay a local high school student $100 to design an ad.

Photoshop is like a Taser. Use it the right way and you won’t get hurt.

why pay a kid $100—so they can have a well-photoshopped piece of shit?
the copy is not exactly stellar either.
