Banners

Banners can come in all shapes and sizes. There are "standard" size banners, if depends on the purpose and reason for why you are making a banner as to the size of the banner.

There are essentially 2 types of banners. Animated & Static.

Flash banners & GIF Banners are the filetypes of animated banners. Flash banners often involve more complex animations and GIF banners are for more simple animation. Flash allows for a wider variety of options as well, such as user interaction with the banner. If you've ever seen those banners where you have to swat a fly, or shoot an alien to win a prize, or whatever, those are flash banners.

Static banners can be either GIF or JPEG.

Below are some sample banners we've created for clients over the years:

be a FLASH banner because in this nice example, the
