Designers generally hate ads on the sites they design, most often because they either look like crap, or mess up the design. One way to minimize the damage is of course to get the ad spots in the design right away, instead of forcing them in and breaking the flow and feel at a later date. That is pretty common when doing design work for clients, since the client rarely wants to pay you to update the design to fit a few more ad spots, or might not even see the issue they are causing with the overall look and feel.
Let’s face it, ads are here to stay, so make sure you get them into the design at an early stage, and if you’re starting a new site yourself, make sure you choose the right ad formats. And by format I mean size, as in width*height, not file format.
This is the designer’s list of ad formats, complete with dummy ads in the right sizes to easily include in your mockups and designs. They are free to use, of course, and you can put them in the designs you send to a client and everything. We do ask, however, that if you would like to share them with your readers, friends, or whatever, just refer them back here, OK? Thanks!
