Brimming with ideas for promotional campaigns Designers are always looking to give their work the creative edge required to get noticed in a sea of marketing and promotion. To achieve this, they must be market savvy, innovative, and possess up-to-date production know-how. The Little Book of Big Promotions is packed with content that offers creative inspiration. It offers hundreds of design ideas, insight into the creative process and execution, and the tools and information needed to make the right production decisions. Project details are highlighted and descriptive text dissects the essential design elements that make each promotion unique and effective. This book will enable seasoned professionals and less-experienced designers to choose the right options for their job, budget, ability, and the market they are trying to reach.

In this fourth title in the Design Secrets series, each design project selected is shown in detail from concept to completion including all the steps in-between. This book presents 50 real-life design original plans, sketches, interim drawings, and presentations each accompanied by informative captions that show how designers present their ideas, and solve problems. Each campaign in this book will have one distinctive and creative element that sets it apart and makes it worthwhile to look at closely. For example, one campaign will go into detail about how the creative team came up with the idea; another will go into more detail on the use of a song in the campaign, and how that came to be; and another will address a television campaign that relied heavily on special effects.
