Have decided to take out an advertisement in a local magazine circulated to mums with children between the ages of 0 to 5 years old. I have enjoyed taking photographs of babies and children recently so I thought I would offer my skills and services more widely.
Now I need to design an advertisement to sell my services. I have done this so many times for other people - but never for myself. Weird how hard it is to get it correct. Have enlisted the services of my wonderful friend and brilliant graphic designer Redroo Creatives to develop my scribblings into a concept that I can work with.

Upon Reflection:
The reason for the need to take out this advertisement was because of a mis-communication between the owner of the magazine and myself. She thought I was supplying photography for a mention in the magazine. I thought I was supplying photography for her to purchase and use in the magazine. To sort this out she has offered a free quarter page advertisement and editorial and I have agreed to cancel the invoice. I have ensured that both the text and advertisement are targeted at the audience that reads the magazine.
I have learnt a seriously good lesson here and that is never to start working without someone first agreeing to the prices, either verbally, in email or responding to a prepared quote.
However, if her readership is far reaching and interested I may make more money than I was charging her - I shall report back.
Will post the advertisement when I am happy with it.
