Today was the 2nd and last day of my stay at Resorts World Kemaman in Terengganu and my family and I had dinner at a little restaurant nearby the hotel we're staying at. While waiting for our food to arrive, I had decided to check out the magazines they have, since the magazine rack was right behind me. While the original purpose of this was to see if they had any nice magazines I'm familiar with on display, which were mostly on the top shelf, I suddenly spotted some car magazines in the shelf below it and thought, "Why not check these out for inspiration for EGD?"

And so that's how I found the little advertisement attached above, which happens to be a Mercedes Benz ad! This ad was meant to promote the Mercedes Benz B Class, but it's Mercedes Benz all the same. Some things I like about the ad are the placements of all the components. On the latest draft of my two-page spread for the Mercedes Benz G Class, I had positioned the car in the center of the page. However, I had trouble continuing after that since I wasn't very sure where to place the text and the must-know details of the car. Therefore, I'm now planning to move the car (along with the light rays) nearer to the bottom of the page to make way for a text box containing details that could lure in potential customers.
