WANTED: Google banner advert designs

**gossi** · **WANTED: Google banner advert designs -** 10-04-2009, 11:02 PM

I'm going to post some Google banner adverts.

Here are the sizes:

Leaderboard (728 x 90)
Skyscraper (120x600)
Wide Skyscraper (160x600)
Small Square (200 x 200)
Square (250 x 250)
Medium Rectangle (300 x 250)
Large Rectangle (336 x 280)

Does anybody want to take a stab at designing some banners to the above sizes? Have a go if you want. Any design you want - any character, multiple characters, different imprints of the same characters, your choice. Just make 'em cool. I'll organise placing them on websites via Google.

What's the thrust of adverts? To watch the show on FOX? To push the Online Viewings? To visit a campaign site? To Download an episode on iTunes?

Where do we stand legally in using Fox's publicity photos?

That first batch of Google adverts are out there now on the Interwebs!

**gossi** · 10-05-2009, 06:42 AM

Something I've just found out - the adverts need to be a max of 50kb in Jpg format. Obviously, compression is horrible at that level so I'm doing my best with it.

CZGoldEdition · 10-05-2009, 07:13 AM

Ah. Yikes well, here they are compressed to under 50kb, as gracefully as I could get them to compress while preserving the dimensions:

I'll post all the upcoming ones in both high and low compression.

**gossi** · 10-05-2009, 07:38 AM

These have all been placed into Google ads, they're just waiting on entering the rotation.

Awesome!

Saw your tweet about Google objecting to the slashed up Dr. Saunders face. Here's a tamer version of the rectangle banners to use:

Awesometastic! I owe you so much right now, thanks!

Is there any chance you could do a Leaderboard (728 x 90)? They're popular on websites. Or anybody else who wants to chip in!

CZGoldEdition · 10-05-2009, 06:52 PM

Oh, d'oh! I forgot about the leader board. Here you go:

Also, if you want any additional Google graphics using any other characters/images/quotes, feel free to ask!

**gossi** · 10-05-2009, 08:49 PM

"In here, we protect the house. A tide is rising. Until we learn how to turn it back, we pile up the sandbags together." is my fave quote right now.

A'right, here you go:

"They're called breasts, and yes, they are exceptional. Mention that when you blog about this later"

although perhaps not the most child friendly.

also one of Topher as "sociopath in a sweater vest" would be cool.

CZGoldEdition · 10-06-2009, 01:47 AM

Made at the request of someone on twitter:

If Claire's slashed face didn't fly I doubt the breasts quote will. The sweatervest quote is also questionable since it's attached to a major spoiler for those who haven't seen all of S1, which is a bummer because it's a good one! I'm all for more funny Topher quotes/quotes about Topher though, since he is not so secretly my favorite. Any other suggestions?

JenskiJen · 10-06-2009, 01:50 AM

The text font is very small. Might get better impact with short quote in larger sized font.

For new viewers (ie folks who may never have heard about Dollhouse) the tag lines would need to be catchy and short, and intriguing enough for them to want to tune in.

Possibly things like these?

Topher image:
He can wipe your mide.
He can make you anyone.
But for what purpose?

Adele image:
It's only a 5 year contract.
She'll just borrow your body.
But it'll change your world.

Echo image:
She needed to escape.
Her mind was wiped. She became Echo.
But her real self is emerging.

Ballard image:
His mission is to take down the Dollhouse.
And to save the girl.
Now he's on the inside, can he save Caroline?

Dr Saunders:
Once she was a person.
Now she's a broken doll.
Can Whiskey be saved?
