Display Ads are my Specialty

My graphic art philosophy is simple: elegant, eye-catching designs embodied with a power to sell. From newspaper and magazine ads that standout amongst the rest, to professional 4-color postcards and flyers for effective direct mail campaigns.

Tice Allison Design is your source for stylish newspaper and magazine ad designs at a reasonable cost. My specialty is for small ads. From the popular quarter page display ad to business card spots and one-inch classified display ads commonly found in the back pages of magazines, I am an expert at creating layouts that catch the eye and catch the attention.

About Tice Allison

My beginnings in graphic design came straight out of college in 1986 when I went to work for a Buy Lines Publication in Petaluma, California, a successful Direct Mail shopper newspaper. My start, however, was not in the art department, but rather, in sales. It was here that I learned the core basics of what it took to create ad designs embued with the power to sell. Later I moved into the graphics department and, working in production, learned the fundamentals of graphic design from some of the best talents in the business.

It was also at Buy Lines Publication that I first encountered a catch phrase common to the advertising industry, the K.I.S.S. principle: which stands for Keep It Simple Stupid! A little politcally incorrect, perhaps, but it serves to remind those of us in this business that when one goes too nuts with the Photoshop effects, one can rob a design of its effectiveness... of its power to sell.

So whether you need a solid pro to create your next display ad design or a new logo to replace the old one, make it Tice Allison Design.
