Overview

This course is for visual, creative people who need to start making HTML5 banner ads. I made this course for people that are struggling to get their heads around the new world of HTML5 advertising. This course is step by step with exercise files. I’ve saved a copy of each Adobe Animate file after every video so if you get lost you can compare your files to my completed files. At the end you’ll be able to create, test and upload standard banner ads.

This course is perfect for people completely new to the digital advertising world. We’ll cover all the basics. It’s also great for people who previously worked in Adobe Flash to produce SWF advertising.

Because this is such a new industry I’ll be around to help you with any questions. Use the forums on the pages and I’ll respond.

Thanks for considering my course. If you’re not sure if it’s right for you. Simply sign up, try it out and if you’re not happy I’ll refund you no problem. - Dan.

I discovered the world of design as an art student when I stumbled upon a lab full of green & blue iMac G3’s. My initial curiosity around using the computer to create ‘art’ developed into a full-blown passion, eventually leading me to become a digital designer and founder of Bring Your Own Laptop.

Sharing and teaching are a huge part of who I am. As a certified Adobe instructor, I've had the honor of winning multiple Adobe teaching awards at their annual MAX conference. I see Bring Your Own Laptop as the supportive community I wished for when I was first starting out and intimidated by design. Through teaching, I hope to bring others along for the ride and empower my students to bring their stories, labors of love, and art into the world.
True to my Kiwi roots, I've lived in many places, and currently, I reside in Ireland with my wife and kids.

Transcript

Hey, in this video we're gonna look at the old school SWF  format versus the new H TML five format. And basically, if you are new to banner ads,  h TML five is all you need to be learning. And, but this video is kind of like more for the people  that, like me, did the older style flash, SWF banners  and have come back to the industry  and finding it quite tough  and wondered what the hell happened. Now what happened was, uh, apple decided  that they weren't gonna load flash  or the SWF format on their mobile phones. It was really, uh, buggy. It was very high on processing power,  so it zapped the phone batteries.

There was lots of reasons, okay. Politics and all. And slowly but surely everybody's gone along for that way. Um, for lots of reasons. One of the big ones is that it's not open source. HTML five is something that anybody can do with, uh,  any kind of editor, whereas  before you had to buy flash, okay?

Which Adobe owned and as an industry, uh, well as the kind  of internet wanted an open source version. So we've moved to this HTML five. Um, flash was easy, okay? SWS were easy. All you had to do, right? And was have, uh, you did your timeline animation,  then you made sure it was at least 40 kilobytes  and you added some click tag code.

Nobody had any idea why you added the click tag code,  but you did and you sent it off and everybody was happy. Now what's happening is that yeah, moved  to this HTML five format and we've got a bunch of new tools. Publishing is a lot harder than it used to be. And I guess that's the reason that I created this course is  because I'm getting so much, um, questions from people kind  of trying to get back into this HTML five stuff. So, um, just know that Flash is gone  and we're not using S WFS anymore. It's now the world of H Tml five.
