hi, I want to use the banner below to advertise our site Please critique it here(ignore the AP watermark)..thanks
Very nice. You can use different font color for "Africa Flight Bookings" or the second and third line to make it more striking, otherwise its a nice banner.
A bit too plain, you could play with the typography by using a really nice font for "Africa Flight Bookings" to draw more attention to it.
it depends what kind of web site you are gonna put it on... this one looks like for a local small not so busy web site. If otherwise, you need to attract more...
Not a bad start, but the crowding of the text near the plane bothers me a little. Also, none of the text really grabs my attention. Love the plane and sky, though.
Personally, I love your colour choice. Blue with white always goes well =) It's just that there is maybe too much text, don't try to make the third lot of text bold or try to change the colour of it because it won't mix. There will still be too much text, I think you could pull it off by making the whole banner a bit wider and then instead of altering the text, try adding a simple background behind the third lot of text. It will stand out much more than just changing the colour of the text. That's just my opinion, but I love where your going with the colours!
Too much text, you can rely on the image and the prices to catch the eye. So Put conditions apply on the bottom right corner, make the text smaller. Eliminate all other text except the headline and the .com and the locations+prices list, you should shift near the cloud on the right.
"Tired of soaring airline prices" that is what I would use and the text is to close to the plane. Other than that I think it looks pretty good.
Space out the text better and use a striking font colour and an attractive font also, especially for the header.
I too have this suggestion. So you do not have to clutter everything all at once. Also I think 'conditions apply' can be made little more smaller and towards the bottom line. Surely you don't want too much attention given to that. Otherwise it is nice.
The text book with us can be bigger and can look like more a button..and also the heading can havea contrast color like yellow..other than its simple and nce...
I don't think this ad will be effective to most people. The text doesn't pop at the viewer, and the graphic of the plane is less appealing than the side view of a plane in flight. It's a good concept; I'd like to see you develop it more though. Try adding a text block with a different color background to focus attention on the text.
Nice photo, but there is too much text and the captions placement makes it look very busy. If you will make the Africa Flight Bookings bigger and animate other captions, so the prices and offers will be moving some how. Also the clouds on background should move. If do so, you will have really catchy banner.... doing this in Flash is not a problem. Keep in mind that people usually click more on moving banners than on this static images. It have to say "click me!" - in this direction your banner doesn't work now.
