My banner ads

I decided I'd try making my own banner ads, mainly so that I had a bit more control over the content of them, and it made them into my own work. I found that people were expecting the banners not to be real because of the nature of the site. This is fine, but I was planning to use real banner ads, and I don't want to accidentally cause someone to sign up to a dodgy site.

The banners I made can be viewed online here.

Although I'm happy with most of the results, they were quite time consuming to make. It would probably be quicker to use the fake banner ads I downloaded and edited before, and change the destination so that they point to pages that say "yeh, right, like you'd really get a free laptop". I will keep the layouts for these pages quite simple so that the focus is on the text, and so that they don't detract from the message of hooami.
