The worst example of banner design

So ...

As I do most every Tuesday, I check to see who's been sending traffic to my gay hub. Today I saw the nice hits from Hunk Hunter, so I tottered over to grab a banner and put him someplace nice.

Well ...

My sites are all pretty pain jane, so I look for animated banners that will fit my needs. Sometimes I am forced to dick with what's offered, and build it myself. Most times it is presentable, till I can contact the webmaster.

Sometimes it comes out pretty funny ...

Guess it's time for an e-mail.

:dolt:

Id be careful with that banner. Its made me feel sick lol.

Better hope no surfers are epeleptic

Send that email :D

Kinda hoping Boardtracker catches Hulkhunters ;)

That looks like the type of design i can do. LOL

I cannot tell which is worse... the banner or the fact that you did not link to the index page :whip:

I linked it here:

You no likie? Happy to change it.

I'd hate to have seen that while drunk

^ too early for a little nip?

I have problems locating sponsors with hardcore banners! I've resorted to building my own using borrowed graphics and images because softcore simply does not cut it (rather use text).

I can't use someone else's X RAted images...

A- I don't hold a licence
B- I don't have 2257 IDs

sorry - I should have clarified: by "borrow" I mean I acquire content from the sponsor I am promoting, and I either modifiy an exsisting creative (banner, header graphic etc) or I simply make something else.

OK, is this better? Speed wise ... roy just showed me the animation part of DW. I'll prob. forget it in a week.

My eye stopped twitching and am once again able to remember where I am!

Excellent job, Madame!

I think Madame's point (which might not apply to you, since I think you are outside the US) is the need for secondary producers to have 2257 docs on hand for any explicit image, even a banner, under 4472... which, for the moment, essentially makes the FSC injunction moot.

how many aunts does unk unter have, anyway?

Well it's not so spastic anymore but I still don't want to click it. It's probably one of the dullest banners I've ever seen.

Guess I'll go spend 10$ and have one made.

Lol, I'm sorry to be so blunt. But it really is yawn worthy.

And since you are sending traffic to HH, why are you paying to have one made? Why don't you just ask them to make you one? Dennis may be overjoyed to offer one to you. But maybe not. Lol.

As I heard through the grapvine, you don't do hardcore banners. Is that correct? Why not just take a nice softcore picture of a hunky guy and put a nice tasteful logo for hunkhunters on top. It would take all of 3 minutes.

Be blunt darlin' ...

As I heard through the grapvine :broccoli:

What grapevine?

blink

Why would I use someone else's X RAted Content in a banner? I don't have the docs or the licence and I surly don't want to have to track the URLs. If it's on our site .. and it's X Rated, we own the rights to use it.

Actually, this whole thread was supossed to be funny. Or maybe hopeful. Guess, I should just remove it. Since HH doen't like where I aimed the traffic, but won't say what is wrong with linking to that index page.

3 minutes would be very cost effective. 2 hours would not.

Perhaps this will appeal to you -- if you like it, just right click and save it to your drive and then send it up to your site.
