How the above content is included is up to the designer.

We would also like the advert to include the company logo. This is attached below in a blue and a white format. Our logo is conventionally in blue and so we would prefer the advert to include it in this format; however, if a white logo is deemed more appropriate for a particular design then we will also consider this. Finally, we would also like as many of the pictures that have again been attached below to be included depending on available space (the pictures are named from 1 to 5 based on order of preference for inclusion). Many thanks!
