Help me pick my advert

I have to pick one of these adverts to send in to Devolution before Nickie comes round and kills me ;) I like both, I am trying to decide between them!

The second image does a better job of showing off the clothing, but it's too far back and so there's no emphasis - you shouldn't have more water in your advert than fabric. Zoom in of about 30% and it would be great.

The photo of Jenni makes a better ad, in that its proven that people respond more strongly to faces, although it doesn't show off your clothing as well. Maybe fiddle with the contrast a little.

Last thing - don't be afraid of either your titling or website address, as they're the most important things in the advert. Knock them up a few point sizes. If you want anything else designing let me know and I'll pop something together for you. I do it all day at work.

Thanks Dan, I might well take you up on that! I had to get this out pretty quickly in the end, so the second one went out 'as is'. I am working on another photo shoot though, and I will probably be looking to do at least one advert from that, with a view to sending it to magazines for approval as a fashion spread, so I will be back on to you in a few weeks no doubt!
