TITLE: Banners
ROLE: Design & Development

Over the last few years I have created my fare share of banners, probably in the hundreds. From gif to flash, super-banner to small contest listings. Banners in my opinion can be one of the hardest things to design -- due to the limited amount of space to work with and the odd dimensions.
