Nice — that’s a fun project. Below is a practical, step-by-step plan to create a strong mock-up ad about iPhone privacy, plus ready-to-use copy, layout ideas, assets/tools, and a short video storyboard if you want motion.
1) Clarify basics (2 minutes)
- Objective: brand awareness? persuade people to use privacy settings? class assignment?
- Audience: general iPhone users, parents, professionals, teens?
- Format/platform: single image for Instagram/Facebook feed, Story/Reel, banner, or 15s video?
Tell me those and I can tailor the copy/size. If you want a quick path, assume mobile social feed (square or vertical) or an Instagram Story (1080×1920).
2) Key message and tone
- Core message: “Your data stays on your phone / privacy built into iPhone.”
- Tone options: confident/professional, friendly/reassuring, bold/activist. Pick one.
3) Layout templates (simple, effective)
Use a clean, minimal layout (Apple-like). Keep important elements centered and away from screen corners/notch.
A. Static mobile feed (square 1080×1080)
- Top: short headline (6–8 words)
- Middle: iPhone mockup or illustration showing a locked shield overlay on the screen
- Bottom: one-line supporting copy + CTA button (“Learn more” / “Try Settings”)
B. Vertical Story (1080×1920)
- Top third: headline + small icon
- Middle: big product shot of an iPhone with a lock/shield and short bullet/feature
- Bottom: CTA (swipe up / link) and small disclaimer (“Mock ad — not affiliated with Apple”)
C. 15s video storyboard (see below)
4) Visual guidance
- Color palette: monochrome + one accent (e.g., #0A84FF blue). Lots of white/negative space.
- Imagery: crisp iPhone device mockup (Placeit, Figma device frame), simple flat icons (lock, shield, fingerprint), blurred background photo for depth.
- Typography: Apple uses San Francisco (SF). For mockups use Helvetica Neue, Inter, or Roboto for a similar clean look.
- Icon style: simple line icons filled when active.
- Keep copy large and legible — don’t put small text near the bottom where UI could cover it.
5) Accessibility & legal
- Ensure contrast ratio (text vs background) is readable.
- Alt text: short summary of the ad for screen readers.
- Legal: don’t claim affiliation with Apple. Add a small disclaimer: “Not affiliated with Apple.” If it’s a class mock-up that won’t be published, that’s usually fine.
6) Tools & assets
- Quick tools: Canva (fast templates), Figma (flexible), Placeit (device mockups), Photoshop/Illustrator for more control.
- Free icons: Feather Icons, Font Awesome, Noun Project.
- Device mockups: Placeit, Smartmockups, Figma device frames.
- Export: PNG/JPEG for images (sRGB), MP4 H.264 for video. 72–150 dpi for screen.
7) Copy examples (pick a tone)
A. Confident / simple
Headline: “Privacy. Built into iPhone.”
Subhead: “Messages, location, and browsing — your data stays with you.”
CTA: “See how it works”
B. Reassuring / warm
Headline: “Your life, kept private.”
Subhead: “iPhone helps block trackers and safeguard your data — automatically.”
CTA: “Protect your privacy”
C. Urgent / activist
Headline: “Take back your data.”
Subhead: “Stop trackers. Keep sensitive info on your device.”
CTA: “Start now”
One-line microcopy for CTA button: “Learn more”, “Protect my iPhone”, “Privacy settings”
8) 15-second video storyboard (if you want motion)
- 0–2s: Black/white screen with headline: “Privacy. Built into iPhone.”
- 2–6s: Close-up animation of an iPhone screen with trackers (dots) approaching, then shield animation blocks them.
- 6–10s: Quick callouts: “Block trackers • Private Relay • App Privacy Report”
- 10–13s: User tapping Settings -> Privacy (show simple UI)
- 13–15s: Final screen: “Your data stays with you.” CTA: “Learn how” + small disclaimer.
Script example (voiceover): “On iPhone, privacy is automatic. Trackers are blocked, apps ask before accessing your data, and your information stays on your device. Check your privacy settings today.”
9) Export settings & platform sizes (common)
- Instagram feed square: 1080×1080 px (jpg/png)
- Instagram story / TikTok / vertical ad: 1080×1920 px
- Facebook feed: 1200×630 px (landscape)
- Mobile banner: 320×50 or 300×250 for in-app
- Video: MP4 H.264, 30 fps, bitrate ~3–6 Mbps for 1080p
10) Quick 1-hour workflow (fast mockup)
- 0–5m: choose objective, audience, tone.
- 5–15m: sketch layout on paper or Figma.
- 15–35m: assemble assets (device mockup, icons), write headline + subhead.
- 35–50m: build in Canva or Figma, apply brand colors/typography.
- 50–60m: export and prepare a 1-slide rationale (objective, key message, CTA).
11) Presentation tips for your mock
- Show 2–3 variants (different headlines or colors).
- Include a one-paragraph rationale: who it’s for, what action you want, why the design supports privacy messaging.
- Add the disclaimer about non-affiliation with Apple.
If you want, I can:
- generate a polished headline + body based on your audience and tone, or
- lay out a visual mockup spec (exact placements and spacing) you can drop into Figma/Canva, or
- write a 15s video script and storyboard frames ready to animate.
