I'm thinking about making new ads for VGMaps.com. (Of course, I think about doing a lot of things...
) The current ones look simple and uninspired. There's something to be said about minimalist design but these ones I know were just plain lazy. Also, I get the feeling people don't think the site is any different from what you might find at GameFAQs, so I should somehow emphasize the screenshot maps we have and people will want to click through to see what we're all about.
With the classic Mega Man series practically mapped (just not Soccer (Super NES)), as well as the 2D Zelda games (just not Four Swords Adventures (GameCube)), and most of the Mario games (just not Yoshi's Island (Super NES) and Partners In Time (DS)), and those three being such big series and all, that I would go for a series of ads focused on each series of games.
Notably, I could go for a primary colour assault. I'm thinking of banners with red (Mario), green (Zelda), and blue (Mega Man) borders. Perhaps, if animated, they could pan across a well-known map from one of those games, then a line about how we've got that series covered, and then the VGMaps.com logo appears.
Of course, that's just one idea. I do like the red/green/blue theme I could do with this, in any case.
Anyone have any ideas or be willing to help?
