How to Make Impressive Banner Designs By Mark Spenser             WWW has opened doors to a new world especially for the field of advertising and marketing. One of the oldest forms of advertising is that of Banners but now-a-days it has become more attractive as it is made digitally. Banners for advertising are one of the essential parts of graphic designing and needs to be made with creativity and excellence. The banners are a popular medium for marketing even on the World Wide Web and the web designers and the copy writers crack their brains to come up with an attractive banner which makes the people click on to it. A good banner must have certain important features when it comes to its designing and its one liner writing. Here are some useful tips for making the best online banner for your online success. A banner must be teasing the curiosity of the viewer. This is the reason why you must have seen sentences like "Do Not Click Here". These kind of sentences catches attention and curiosity of the viewer and they tend to click it as soon as they read such a thing out of sheer curiosity. Another kind of banners is the ones that ask you to peel the folded corner of the web page in short, the dog eared web page. These kinds of banners arouse the surfer to see what is behind the dog eared page or what is it that makes the thing un-clickable. A good banner is generally a combined effort of a graphic web designer and a copywriter. Both of them are always on a look out for a design that would capture the minds of the surfers.     Adland Digest Sponsor Message Be a sponsor. Place your ad here. (Spot II)   The simple integrated designs of the banners are often more of a success than the flashy ones. For instance, the ads that appears on the Google's results page is so much simple in looks and so integrated that it looks pretty much the part of the search result. This tends to give more business to the website owner as well as Google through its AdWords. Hence, it is in a way a mutual promotion that can benefit both. Simple does not mean that the banners cannot be animated. People generally get interested if you engage them in some activity. These days a common trend with ads is making it with some multiple option questions and as soon as the viewer clicks on one of the option the viewer is diverted to the website or maybe you are made to play shooting a subject game on the banner and the more the clicks the better chances you have of getting some surprise. These kinds are to be made very effectively and creatively by the graphic web designer. Therefore, coming up with some out of the box ideas for a banner design is always efficient in advertising your online business with much zeal.   About the Author: Mark Spenser is an EzineArticles Expert Author.  For More Information: Graphic Design Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Mark_Spenser   Adland Digest Sponsor Message LOSING money on programs that don't work?

(Spot III)    Your Internet Business - What it Takes By Kevin Mukai   So, you want to start an internet business. You don't have any experience in business, let alone a clue about any internet or online business. How many of us spend endless hours, days, months or years dreaming of what's possible? What could be? If only I dared. Maybe next year when the economy turns around. Maybe next year when the kids are out of the house. Maybe next year when I pay off some debt. Maybe later when my boss really pisses my off. Maybe, maybe, maybe. Time passes...And we hope somewhere we'll find the courage or sign. Maybe it will come from the great beyond and take me by the hand and show me the way. And I'll never make a mistake or bad decision. I certainly don't want to fail. God knows what people might think of me, right? "What a putz! What a loser! "He should have stayed with his job". "So what if he was miserable and hated his boss", it was safe". "I know he had hopes and dreams, hell everyone does". "You just don't take risks like that". "We're just ordinary folks just trying to get by, raise a family and hopefully end up with a decent retirement". If you're going to be great, if you're going to go somewhere, if you're going to leave a legacy and certainly if you're going to create the kind of life that you're dreaming of then you're going to have to have some guts! Creating a vast amount of wealth doesn't take brains, but it does take COURAGE. And the first step is the DECISION to be successful. It doesn't matter what your definition of success is. IT IS A CHOICE whether you want to admit it or not. Leaders make life happen. They don't hope that it will happen by accident. Hope is not a plan. Start by getting into the proper mindset. By that I mean that you are going to have to start hanging out with or least for now start listening to successful people. You may not know any, but there are books on these people. You can research them on the internet. Information is everywhere. Learn how they think and start thinking like them. You are also going to have to minimize your exposure to people who are negative and will try to discourage you. They can be your closest friend or relative. Do not under estimate the negative power they have on your goals. It doesn't mean that they are bad people; they just don't understand where you want to go and are afraid for you. After all, they probably don't have the kind of lifestyle that you're trying to create for yourself. Remember: Listen to people only if you want their results. Please understand that there are no guarantees in life especially in business. If it were true, everyone would have successful business and live in mansions. Failure of a business is always a possibility. But if you work on your mindset everyday, focus on success and work hard there is no failure and success will come to you eventually. I know that sounds easy to say, but I can say this from my personal experience. I knew nothing about business, but I knew I wanted more out of life than a job where I was working for someone else. So I bought a small business and worked on it as hard as I could. I'm sad to say that it eventually failed and I thought that it was the end of my world and went into a little depression. But after feeling sorry for myself, I realized that I could either feel sorry for myself or learn from my experience as painful and humbling as it was. I learned what needed to be done in order to be successful in my next venture. I learned the skills I needed to be successful. And I learned what a real successful business should look like. Today I run two businesses home and have clients that come to me. And I have just been asked to help start and run another business. I'm not telling this to brag. I'm telling you this to show you that as long as you decide to go in a certain direction and keep moving forward, things will always work out somehow. It may not be exactly the way that you envisioned it, but it is truly amazing how many great things can happen in a very short period of time. Remember, the choice is and always will be yours.......but so is the regret. God Bless you on your journey.   About the Author: My name is Kevin Mukai. I am a Husband and father of two boys.
