Newspaper Ad Design

When running newspaper and or magazine ads the salesperson will sometimes recommend they do the design of your ad as a money saving option. This is usually a bad idea.
Not because they cant do it, or dont have the ability, but because newspaper designers are under a deadline to create many ads in a short amount of time. In most cases your ad wont receive the care and attention to detail it deserves because of the time constraints.
If you doubt this pick up almost any paper and proof read the ads or look for corrections and retractions of past incorrect ads.
