What are some creative advertising ideas?

What are some good ideas for art advertising graphic design sheet?

• I have to draw from my own photos, however I dont know what to fill my sheets with, and I don't know what to take photos of. Also what materials could I use? I've created one sheet already and on that, I painted a large Ralph Lauren perfume bottle, but I want to focus on advertising more, any ideas?

• Answer:

  I'm unclear what you're asking for here. I've never heard of an "art advertising graphic design sheet." Are you talking about a tear sheet? Or is this more of a mood board? Or are you sketching out concepts for photo shoots? Or is it something else entirely? I can tell you that as far as concepting goes, you need to know what product you're selling before you concept about it. You need to know the product, then find its target market and figure out a concept that speaks to that market. You're not going to market medical supplies to a janitor, just like you're not going to sell baby formula to a 12 year old boy. As far as coming up with an image, remember that in advertising you're always telling a story. A bottle of perfume isn't that interesting. What else can you put in the scene that helps tell the viewer a story about the perfume?
