    Looks like they used MS Paint back then.

    It also appears they had Windows 7.

    And no idea about layout/design of an ad.

    It would appear there were some pretty harsh critics back then. I say, they just didn't know how to appreciate someone's attempt at making a car ad.

    It was a fantastic attempt. But hopefully critics aren't so harsh these days...right?

    I like the idea, maybe this should be a general 'car ad' thread ;)

    Really though, it's not bad. It could just use improvement. Look at older car ads to get an idea. Crop out the Moonhawk and have a white background with text like this:

    American+&+Canadian+Illustrated+Automobile+Ads+from+1960s-1970s+(10).jpg

    Or something like this:

    American+&+Canadian+Illustrated+Automobile+Ads+from+1960s-1970s+(12).jpg

    Actually this is the real alpha ad, as you will see this is alpha 0.1.0.3 so yeah.

    A real ad wouldnt advertise a 70's car in the 80's or 90's as your ad seems to imply the current date is.

    Try harder pls



    Mine's far from perfect but I don't see many people doing much more than slapping hard-to-read text on in MSPaint.

    It makes zero sense if you have a new car ad, for a brand new 1977 Moonhawk, but then advertise a show that didn't come out for another 10 years.
