Oh, Klaus, I quite like your gif, looking forward to what you can do with the others ...

I think with the top two or three after the judging, with a few minor tweaks we could use all of them... but more about that after the judging .

my other 2 entries in .SWF just for now (swf size 500kb .gif 5 mb )

Good luck to everyone!

Nice last finishing sprint there Klaus - you're definitely one of the front runners... hmmm - I wonder if making them .swf files like shadow did will make them smaller... at 1mb they're quite sizeable.

I'll check for any further entries tomorrow, and then it's decision time. The winner, and runners up can expect to get a few requests for modifications so that the ads are in a 100% ready format for us to use, but looking promising so far

Those banners look really good, Klaus!

However, I do think the fade-in and fade-out effects for the texts are way too slow. Since they are adverts on the side of another page, they should be a lot faster. I doubt people will continue to look at them for much longer to just see what's it going to write up next.
By making the fades faster you can make the animation shorter and to shrink the image size even more, thus making them load faster! And also, by making them load faster, they will show up earlier, maybe even just before a user goes off the site! No point having the advert if a potential client isn't around long enough to see it, is there?

Thought to point that out. It's just something I have found out about people and their relation to web ads and user interfaces in general. The world of web adverts especially, is all about efficiency.

Ok, cheers. I'll try making the transitions shorter.

Thanks for the feedback
