Need help with an ad

[sperry]

I have been in contact with the webmaster of Reefkeeping Online Magazine. We can get an ad for the frag swap but we need a banner and some nicely worded correctly spelled text. The spelling part knocks me our of the running. LOL Any volunteers? Here is a link to the site so you get an idea of what he wants.

I dunno, maybe something like this:

WTMRAC stands for West Tennessee Marine and Reef Aquarium Club.

The banner looks good. He just wants a banner graphic and then a nice text write up though. This is what I have so far. Format doesn't display like the original. Suggestions Welcome.

Richard, I like your banner with the moving letters, but because of the very close up nature of the image, I'm having a hard time identifying it to anything marine.

This is what I am submitting. Unless there are objections. Hopefully carson approves.

 

[neuroslicer]

very nice!

WOOHOO!!!! I has mad graphic making skilz!!! Anyone catch why it would be important for Sanford Carson to like it?

Looks great.

I'm a little confused about the $3. Includes raffle ticket - yes. Includes $10 and a frag from someone's table??

 

[Rendos]

If you need anymore banners for advertising the event...you can use any of these, or I can make more.

Sorry...I just love making banners.

I know my grammar is bad but I have read it a couple of times and to me it reads
$3 for admission which includes a door prize ticket

$10 or a frag for a sellers table

 

[crpeck]

No diss on any one's grammar. I'm just confused.

What does $10 or a frag for a sellers table mean?

Is the door prize that the raffle ticket is for $10 or a frag?

What does a frag for a seller's table mean? We bring one or do we mean one from a seller's table?

If it means that the prize is a frag from a seller's table, are all people bringing frags willing to donate which ever coral, no matter how valuable, to us as a door prize of someone's choosing?

Or does it mean that to gain admittance you're supposed to bring a frag for a seller's table.

Sorry if I seem ignorant. I've never been to a frag swap and don't know how it's done.

Here are a couple of posters...

It costs $10 or a frag to be raffled off in order to get a table to sell from...I think.

 

[sperry]

LOL Your way over thinking this.

The cost of admission is $3. For that $3 the person will receive admission to the event and a ticket for the door prize drawings.

The cost of a table to be used by a seller is $10. If the seller so chooses she/he may donate a frag of at least $10 in value in lieu of paying the $10 cash. Any frag donated in this way will become a prize which will be given away in the drawings.


Although I think a frag given to the president (me) should also cover the table fee but........

 

[Rendos]

Scott - what do you think about any of the new posters/banners? Is this what you are looking for? I thought you could post the posters and/or banners on threads in other clubs' forums, and link the picture to our thread about the swap.

Those last couple are gorgeous, Richard. Real attention getters.
