I am working on a new advert ;) I have to get this advert in by Friday. I can't decide which pic to use - help!

Help me pick one, or suggest one that you have seen me use which isn't there.

Thanks guys!

I like this one http://www.flickr.com/photos/26607177@N07/3289767145/in/set-72157614066694370/
it shows the outfits off great and gives the advert an edge :-)

I concur.

I agree with the first suggestion. Either that one or this one (Foreverinblack various 078) of Laura, as i love the clothing in that picture and you could use her looking up at the writing or something :)
The only issue i have with the other picture is that the model is fairly small size and does not show your leaning towards plus size clothing as a speciality.
Y'know, you could perhaps have a picture of a plus size model with a smaller size model to show your range? If you have one?

I am working on an idea someone gave me, of showing two models in the same outfit, one thin, one plus sized, holding the price tag between them. I like that idea :) But I am out of time on that one this time round!

You have exactly the same issue as me - people love those pictures of Amy, but they don't show my size range.

TBH we have been discussing limiting the size range, as whilst plus sized ladies are always pleased I have items to fit them, they never bloody buy anything!

I think it is probably a good idea to only make items in the most popular sizes (something like sizes 8 to 24 or something? i wouldnt know...) i do think you should still sell some plus size items though! It's so bloody hard to find stuff above size 16 that isn't crap and you have become known for doing plus sizes anyway.
The photo idea of the two sized models is a good idea, i like that :)
Could you not skillfully meld (or get someone else to...Jim can do stuff like that) a couple of pictures together? Not sure how that would work on the backgrounds, would possibly have to be changed.
I think if you had that one of Amy sat on the bridge/wall looking down and then the one of laura looking up (somehow!) would be pretty good haha. But then, there would be a background gap...damn, i'm no help!

Ok....perhaps use that picture of Amy as it's a good picture, shows the clothing well and is eye catching, but in your writing on the advert use some eye catching text that tells the customer you provide plus sized clothing/made the measure clothing as well as smaller sizes, rather than just the company name? I don't know what you were going to put on the advert so....
I think that would work fine!

i'm biased :)

but i think the one of amy in the green and stripy would really grab attention.

i showed johno the pics and he likes the one of me in the tarten and amy on the bridge

and i love the idea of the 2 different sized models in the same outfit as it would give people an idea of what something looks like on diffrent people

Iou went with the stripy burton image there is plenty of room above her head for the logo as well as a list of words down the side of her which wont affect the actual image - as for getting around the plus sized bit - you can word it as we offer our clothing in a custom range or sizes 6 - 26 or soemthing like that which will tell people you do cater for plus sizes x

Use photo shppt dene 132. It'll grab the attention of some of the younger crowd whose rich parents hate them but will spend money on them. ;)

the group shot shoes range shows versatility of styles

i like the one of laura in the tartan on the stone steps :)

I definately think you should use one with Laura in. I prefer the first one with her sitting down under the trees, but mainly for the composition. It doesn't really show off the outfit as well as it could. So perhaps the Tartan Dress on the stairs?
