Desired Color Scheme:
SmartServ Blue, SmartServ Light Blue
Desired Style:
My sketches are a general idea of what I want and should be no means interpreted as how I want the "art". Use your creativity and feel free to rearrange if necessary. I like alot of color accents (not necessarily alot of different colors). I like a little
Accepted File Formats:
optimized for the web animated gif
The ad will be placed on nyccashflow.com. I think my sketch it is too small compared to the actual size of 100 x 150. Please use the maximum size allowable of 100 x 150 pixels.
I will be attaching files of a general sketch of what I want. It will be a 4 frame animated gif with an infinite loop. I am also attaching our logo and a picture of me "The Problem Solver"
Here is the actual text of the ad in case you can't ready my chicken scratch:

Also make the gif loop go indefinitely.
Also attached is an ai file of the logo. This version also has other stuff in it, but you can crop and re size to make it nice.
The 4th frame is not represented in the drawing. Please keep everything uniform and it should fit in with the layout of the 1st 3 frames.
Color Scheme: SmartServ Blue (the darker one) and white with SmartServ Light Blue accents - feel free to change as necessary. I am thinking about using a small blue border around the button. It might look good if we used the same blue as the navigation on the left side of nyccashflow.com. It would help it flow into the site nicely. Very nice. Our ad is going where it currently says "Your ad here". I think a white background would probably work best, but then again, I am in financial services, not graphic design, so feel free to trust your instincts.
Thanks and I look forward to working with you.
I need this by Saturday morning. I will be going to sleep shortly as it is after midnight here so I won't be able to give feedback until in the morning. I will be available all day on Friday to give feedback and help you refine your concept.
