Nice work. And, even though it doesn't really fit with the brand image, I really like the ad by Ryan Simcoe. And I like the copy treatment at the bottom by Ashley Rice. Melissa'ss ad is very well-crafted too. In general, a few comments: I would, in most instances, superscript registered trademark symbols and 'most' of the time, with ad copy, it works best to turn off hyphenation. And mind the edges of the ad...try not to get too close. Nice work guys. Looking forward to working with you on the future project. I nominate Jeff Higdon as the winner! Nice work.
