Skateland of Augusta web ad

This 300×225 ad was designed in August 2009 for Skateland of Augusta, to be used on wrdw.com.

The client sent the following hand-drawn image, and our internet salesperson suggested we flip the rabbit and use the phrase “You’ll flip over Skateland of Augusta”.

I recolored the rabbit in Photoshop and applied some effects to make him appear 3D. A simple gradient in the background added depth to the image.

Turnaround time on this project was three hours.

The client had this to say:

That is a terrific ad! It should catch people’s attention.

I later reworked the ad into a 728×90 leaderboard.
