People keep making banners that wouldn't work as ads. You want something that's the right size. I'm not a professional graphic designer, but I've had more than a few years worth of education involving this kind of stuff now. So lemme throw out some tips.
Here's the sizes supported by Google's ad services:
But depending on where or how we want to advertise, they're going to need different things.
There are three components any successful ad is going to need, too:
- The City of Heroes logo, so people know what game this is about.
- A message like "We need your help!", or "Heroes always come back!" that will get people to click
- An image of Statesman(the one used above could be good)
The real information is going to be in the page they go to when they click the link. If people want to go animated, do one frame that says the message I mentioned above, and a second that says "Tell NCsoft to call Jack Emmert! Bring City home!"
Edit: this post is adding a stray list-end tag no matter what i do, get out of here list end tag
