The Lost Art of banners lives
I was using RAIDSEARCH to look through my hard drive for past banner ads of my own stuff.
I was branding a piece of viral software and it allowed me to add some of my own banners to it.
But something soon became apparent.
It soon became apparent that I had not even done any traditional (468 x 60) banners for my current product range.
I did have some side margin blog squares, but even then not in the quantity merited.
I did found some great historical stuff and some nice stuff I had forgotten even existed.
I’m not sure if I was more shocked that I hadn’t done any banners, or that here were still very good reasons to have them, beyond the traditional “ppc” mentality that has dumbed us down and tuned us out.
Banners are dead. Long live banners.
Luckily banner adverts are very easy to make in my BuickAI Product Matrix “HeadMaster” program,
Going by Eban Pagan speak, that is a “cute” name and I will root in hell for it. Certainly never sell any.
So if you prefer, you can call it “dead easy graphics and headers”.
But you can’t acronym that to DEGAH, because that sounds like that artist bloke, and he was probably cute
Or in Pagan speak, “don’t make people work to associate the name with the benefit it provides.”
I’m worried that Americans make slang it down to “dead easy” or even “dead” (LOL) so I may have to rename it;
“graphics easy”.
What do you think?
I wonder if Adobe worried about this with Photoshop…
