Creating an animated banner or button

Here are some details to help with communication for producing exactly the banner you need.

Most banners seem to have three rotating transition "frames".
There's no set rule on this though. I can create just a static banner with one image, or 2 - 4 frames as well, depending on how much content you want in your ad. (Note: The more transitions you have, the larger the file size, so it's best to try and stay within those parameters.)

Typically I study my client's web site to make color and style choices.
I'll ask for a logo to be submitted in email if you have a separate file, rather than a logo embedded into a header image. If you don't have a web site or prefer a different style or colors, please let me know that in email or in the contact form. With the exception of a logo, most of the time I provide the artwork. However, if you'd like to submit images for me to use, that'sgreat.

The best way to communicate about your banner or button choices would be to send an email using the sample below:

Rotation 1
Image: (if applicable)
Text:

Rotation 2

Rotation 3
Image: (if applicable)
Text:

Please keep in mind the area that we're working with. Longer sentences will fit in a standard 468x60 banner, but you might want to study some of our button samples if you're choosing a 125x125 size. I'd also be glad to edit a copy a bit for size constraints and have you approve it if necessary.

Mostly - don't hesitate to ask any questions! I'm always happy to work with my clients to create images they love.
