- Since no one decided to respond to the initial advertising thread I attempted
- to start (maybe I tried it in comp.os.os2.misc? I can't remember anymore...),
- I'll try with another one. Again, I'm interested in reading any ad ideas you
- can come up with (and I know there are IBMers who read this and are probably
- interested also). Here's the idea for this one:
-
- <Radio ad>
- "With an operating system that can run all of your DOS, Windows, and OS/2
- applications, using your computer is as simple as 1-2-3...or dBase IV...
- or Ami Pro...(start to fade) or CorelDraw...or Describe...or Microsoft Excel
- (etc. ad nauseum)" Meanwhile, once the voice starts to fade you get the
- overdubbed deeper voice (but not too deep) take the foreground: "OS/2 2.0
- for your personal computer. Requires an Intel or compatible 80386 or better
- CPU with 4 megabytes of memory and 30 megabytes hard disk space. To order,
- call 1-800-3IBMOS2. Product names are trademarks of their respective owners."
-
- As with the TV ad last time, this has a two page analogue for a magazine. The
- first page would be the first voice, with the fade represented by continually
- shrinking point sizes and the second page would be the deeper voice. I would
- use a white Helvetica font for the first page on a black background, and have
- the OS/2 logo in the middle of the second page with the type below it.
-
- What is something you can come up with?
