Maybe that will help?
Given that I figured it had to be a portfolio mock-up for a fictional client, maybe so.

The ad looks like something I - or one of my classmates - would have done in our college coursework.

I have since burned my portfolio from those days. And it feels wonderful knowing I'll never have to look at them again.

Andrew, stick around and start searching the forum for books and such on copywriting. You'll be improving in no time (and downright disgusted by your first attempts at copywriting).

Here are some articles I've written and posted on the board which somewhat apply:

How To Ignite Customer Desire With Benefit-Rich Copy

How to Find the “Selling Story” Buried in Your Business

I really should write one on web design and graphic design to support copy.

Hey, those are great John_S. Lotsa good info on this board. The only problem is that there's so much that it can be a little overwhelming.
