    Judge Comment: A fun design to creatively handle an event schedule. Visually draws the reader in to the ad to take in a lot of information. Great idea, well executed.Sharp looking ad. Good use of photos and graphics. Typically boring coupons are given life as 3D images popping off the page.

    Judge Comment: Creative background picks up the colors from the carpet in the photo. The paint from background brushed over the lower corner of the photo is a nice touch. Choice of font resulted in odd spacing that needs kerning, otherwise a very nicely done ad.
