Take a can or bottle of soda and turn it into a vintage can or bottle of soda. Create your own label and logo for the soda. After you create the vintage soda, create an old advertisement selling your soda. Try making everything look as realistic as possible. Make people want to try your soda.
Drivenslush: Does it have to be a "CAN" of Soda, or can we use bottles? (just asking) ( 5 years and 2451 days ago )
spaceranger: Good point Drivenslush, since bottles were used before cans which weren't introduced till the 1930s bottles should be permitted. I'll ask the Contest Moderator and will post the answer as soon as possible. ( 5 years and 2451 days ago )
Contest Moderator: As Space said, bottles were used before cans, and will be allowed. ( 5 years and 2451 days ago )
Drivenslush: Thanks! ( 5 years and 2451 days ago )

I really like how both the image elements and the image quality are retro. It does bother me, however, that the bottle labels aren't curved as if they were actually wrapped around the bottle. (And while modern-day Popeyes has chosen to eschew the apostrophe in its name for its chicken outlets, I suspect a retro soda purveyor would want to make it clear that its pop belongs to Papa—but maybe my dirty mind misunderstood the name in the context of the image.)
I admit the 'retro ad' element of the contest made me think magazine ad which would be a portrait rather than a landscape orientation. Such an aspect constraint might resolve my composition concerns here. Specifically, symmetry is formal and a bit boring unless formality is the point. Mirroring accentuates symmetry. But I don't think soda pop wants to be seen as formal.

Thank you Dan for taking the time to write this comment. I will try to answer you for it as far as my understanding gets me
Unfortunately i dont have the time to work on the label before the closing time.
For some reason i thought the ad would be on billboards but you are probably right about it supposed to be in a magazine so landscape mode isnt good, still i hope people here would like it
I dont think symmetry necessarily means formality, especialy in this ad
Hope i got everything right
