I am working on a promotion that will appear in a pop up window when people come to the site's home page. This is what I have so far: "Summer Sizzlers" could be written in 1 line, but needs to remain the same colors. the background and the color scheme of blue-yellow are a must. the circle thingy should remain as well (but i could convince them to take it off if nessesary).
Righ now, i just have a feeling that there are 2 things that draw your attention ("summer sizzler" and the word "impact") while everything else just gets lost. how would you improve this?

this is what I see:

Summer Sizzler is fine as a header graphic or masthead. I feel it should have a divide underneath to seperate the masthead and the content.

Impact should not be the prominant part of the second message. What kind of impact is it? It is a MAXIMUM IMPACT. I feel both maximum and impact should be equally prominant. The minimum effort part is fine.

The other two or fine I guess Except the kerning on simple assembly should be the same as MAXIMUM, keep some consistency.

My other question would be, WHAT IS YOUR PRODUCT?, I cant really tell.

I see it's complete with a graphic and bag, and i'm saving $695 dollars, but on what?

Are these for targeted customers who have previously bought this product, have signed up for emails, and understand what the product is they're seeing?

Because if not, I have no idea what your selling.

Just some thoughts.

I don't think the header needs a divide, its' size separates it.
But I definitly agree that "impact" is lost there, "maximum impact minimum effort" are the full message and should be 'together visually'

"simple assembly sign-up" what does that mean?

"complete with graphic and bag" - might want to rephrase that or change it to something better?

Maybe it you have to see or be on the site, but from your link I have NO IDEA what you are selling.

1. "Sizzling" makes me think of hot weather or, something being grilled. How does that connect with the pic of the chocolate covered fruit?

2. "Impact" what? "Minimum effort" of what?

3. Just when I think you're talking about food (the picture), you says "simple assembly." So I'm really confused now.

4. What kinda graphic? For what use? What kinda bag? for what use?

5. Is that white thingy suppose to be a bag or restaurant napkins.

6. Saving $205 will probably be more meaningful when I know what I'm saving it on?

7. Is this a service, or a product or an event? Does it have a name? If its SUMMER SIZZLER, thats seems more like a description.

8. Signup? For?

9. Chocolate Potpourii LTD.? What is that?


Your problem with this page is not the physical design, but that I (maybe I'm slow), can't figure out what it is you want me to give you $695 for.

A note here, My work PC is set at 800 x 600 resolution, and your ad is too long to fit on the page. I hate to scroll. A lot of people hate to scroll. And if you'll be putting it into a fixed size pop up window with no scroll bars, people with lower than 1024 x 768 resolution wont ever be able to click on the link.

thanks so much for the feedback!

people who will come to the site should know what the company does - trade show displays. but I added "banner display" as a description because not everybody will know the brand names, like SignUp. Kjonnnn, i was rotflmao @ your comments (though unfortunately theu reveal the bad news to me.).
i was given a sort of a template and was told to follow it, but it sucks.

is this any better: ?

The last one, much better.

Could make more comments, but that would be getting into graphics stlye, and each person has there own. So no need for that.

Good luck on your promotion.

virt,
you could!
I am really a web developer, so I rarely have to deal with design (and oh, do I suck at it! *lol*)

to answer some more questions here:

1.  "Sizzling"  makes me think of hot weather or, something being grilled.  How does that connect with the pic of the chocolate covered fruit?
It's a name of their summer promotion campaign, so they are determined to stick it there.

5.  Is that white thingy suppose to be a bag or restaurant napkins.
*lol* that is the view of teh banner stand from the back.

8.  Signup?  For?
*lol* again - that's a brand name. pretty confusing, I know!

9.  Chocolate Potpourii LTD.?  What is that?
they have a "featured" display for each kind of product, so chocolate potpourri happens to be the one for "SignUp".

as i said, people who will come to the site will at least know what the company does, so that shoudl help them out. but it is amazing to see how all of you guys got so confused by every single thing on this promotion.

the stuff will go in this exact order (when the users click "more"):

yea, clicking "more" 3 times is another issue all together. this for our sister company and geez, those guys are hard to convince.
does the stuff look ok?

actually,
i have another question.
on "page2" the image and text switch sides which is again following their request. but now that i look at it it just seems distracting that things jumped to a different place.
should i keep everything consistent or does this switch help it be not-so-boring?

Me personally I like 3 better out of 2 & 3. The only other thing I would suggest and this is just a personal thought is this.

You have some really good depth going on there in the design with the way you have the background, etc. If it were me, to add to that depth and kinda give it a bang I would take the way you have the different color yellows for "maximum impact, roll up, and the price" and change the arrangement.

Make the furthest one back ie: impact, the darker of the yellow, the roll up a little lighter, and the price being the brightest of the three. Will give it the message the illusion of coming out at ya.

Also when it comes down to it, these guys being return customers, the savings should be the most prominant of the messages. Being the brightest of the yellows I think would boast the savings.

Just my thoughts and once again, all is a matter of styles.

Great job though.
