Inspiration: the act of influencing or suggesting opinions : to draw forth or bring out : an inspiring agent or influence
Ad Inspiration is a step above basic sketches. There is a basic design or sketch that you can pull out from the ad and use on your own layout. There are additional pieces you can use like colors, patterns, title or keywords, theme, font styles, and element placement. You can copy a design straight from the ad or you can alter a design to fit your own style. Most ads are 8.5x11" but you can easily adapt the design to fit any size. Remember, this is not a sketch and you are not required to follow every detail. The key is to really LOOK at the ad and find the elements that INSPIRE you.
