We have teamed up with ComputerArts magazine to run a competition for you to design a brand new magazine advert for Heart Internet. As well as being published in Computer Arts, the winning entry will be showcased on the Heart Internet website, blog and newsletter. The winning designer will also receive:
- A brand new 15-inch 2.53Ghz MacBook Pro
- Free Heart Internet Business Pro hosting and .com domain name for a year
The brief
Create a full-page magazine advert advertising the Heart Internet reseller hosting product to the web designer market. It is important the advert stands out in what is a very competitive industry, but also clearly represents Heart Internet’s current branding as represented by the website: www.heartinternet.co.uk
The winning advert will be published in Computer Arts, so it is important that it follows the following printing specifications: Type: 203×280, trim: 222×300, bleed: 228×306

Hi Matthew,
As is the case with some other people, I’m having trouble unzipping the logo files. Could you email uncompressed versions of them to me (gjohnrees@yahoo.co.uk)?
Many thanks,
John
