For project 3, I am going to make a 2-page spread Ad for a hotel. I am going down to Florida for Spring Break, staying in a nice hotel on the beach (Long Boat Key Club & Resort), so I will be using most of my own photographs for this assignment. Below are some pictures of other magazine ads for hotels and spas.

My ad, like most hotel ads, will show all the different areas that the hotel offers. The golf course, tennis courts, spa, lobby, pool and beach. I want to represent the hotel as a classy, fancy place more for adults than family. I want to show all the relaxing places for the guests and show how enjoyable the time can be.  The website for the hotel is www.longboatkeyclub.com and this is where I will be getting most of my ideas for the Ad.

Visually, the colors will be soft and gentle so make the viewer feel relaxed just by looking at the ad. I am visioning a larger background image of the ocean which is the view from the hotel rooms. This image might be a panoramic photo. Then, I’ll show the different areas across the bottom of the page in smaller images. The font with me a script font to represent the upscale atmosphere of the hotel.  Below are some thumbnails I drew up for my layout of my ad.

Also, I have added my half size drawings of the two designs that I like the best and will most likely use.
