Surprisingly enough, every hair studio seems to be completely different from the rest. Its not that their services are entirely different, but because they depend on differentiation to reach their target customers. Since a lot of folks see their hair as an extention of their identity…go figure right?
Anyway, just to show you how these ads can run the gamut with design, I’ve left a couple of my own designs here for you to critique and comment on.
An insert I did for Hair Setters, a little place in Baltimore for Women and Men's haircuts...although I'm under a sneaking suspicion that it's just a good place to get a rockin' perm.
An insert completed for Salon by Julian, a hair salon primarily for men in Canton/Little Italy area of Baltimore. I was given some artistic freedom with this one, so I'm proud of the way it came out. Any suggestions?
Here's an insert I did for M Salon promoting their services and Gift Card deals. They already had a branding theme going on their website, so I had to completely recreate (and extend) all of the effects you see here in Photoshop.
Here's an insert I designed for Ritchie's Barber Shop in East Baltimore. Turns out it was a small place with a loyal clientele (i.e. They didn't need us). Oh well, I'll use the design somewhere else. The artwork is an original creation by yours truely. Critique and comments please.
Ritchie’s Barbershop Art Detail:
Here's a detail of the art. Once again, the only way I get better is if YOU make comments on the work. Please do so...don't be shy...I don't bite....always...
