Title: PAHR & The Riv, Golf Advertisement

Client: Churm Media, in association with Southland Golf Magazine

Program(s) Used: Quark, Photoshop, Illustrator

Time Span: 2-3 hours to completion

About: Wanted a fresh new look to compete with other clothing ads in their chosen advertising magazine (southland golf magazine). Direction was for something modern, cutting edge, with supplied logos and photography.

Designer Notes: Finally, an ad that has that “National” feel to it. This was the diamond in the rough of design assignments at Churm Media.
