#124 Create new ad for Ad Bard network
Closed: Fixed None Opened 14 years ago by jwboyer.

Hi Design Team!

The Fedora Project has been offered another free month on the Ad Bard network and we've taken them up on that. They like to use fresh ads on the network from month to month, so we need an updated add to give them. Their requirements are:

{{{
If you decide to participate again, I will need:

  * An image 120 pixels wide by 90 pixels tall.  It can be a png,
    jpeg, or static gif.
  * Up to 80 characters of text (displayed under your ad)
  * A link, where you want people to be taken when they click your
    ad.

}}}

The ad we used for Feb was done by Mo and is here for reference:

Paul has some ideas for an updated ad that he's whipped up and put here:

Could you take a look at this and see if we can get it done soon?


My ads are really just substituting background, but one of them I goofed around with to provide a Fedora 13 Alpha CTA. I don't think that's the right one to use though -- this will be going out to general audiences, and though we definitely want to encourage testing, we shouldn't spring that on someone who just wants to try Fedora out. Since the link goes to the download page, when the Alpha is out, the banner lozenge should attract the attention of anyone who's interested in doing some testing of the Alpha. If not, they can go right ahead to the download of the current release.

Ping? This is somewhat urgent, since we're supposed to be running this Ad in March and it's now March....

Even someone saying that http://pfrields.fedorapeople.org/images/mockups/f12-swirl-adbard-bannerad.svgz is good enough would be fine, assuming that Ad Bard is happy with that level of change (appearance vs. a real content change).

Josh, since no one's objected or cut in here, as a contributor I'm OK with you using the above ad if you like. :-)

Works great for me. I've sent it to the Ad Bard people now. Thanks for pitching in Paul!
