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.

Founder of Bring Your Own Laptop & Chief Instructor
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.

Okay. The next thing we're gonna do while we're here is naming the instances. So when we named it before we went to modify convert to symbol, we called him Mc Bob. Does mc Bob sound like a rapper or a dj? That's, I keep hearing. Anyway, so Mc Bob is a space alien rapper, but he, uh, that name space Bob is kind of a symbol name.
What we need to do is give these things, these instances a name, okay? These instances here, I'm gonna go to properties. Um, they have no instance names at the moment. Why, um, you, why do you add instance names? It's because later on, um, when we add a little bit of code, we're gonna do a little bit of code in this course is we wanna control something. Say we wanna control this one, but not this one.
We wanna move this one from left to right and this one up and down. Um, we can't control it with code because we don't know its name. We have to give these all unique names so that later on we could do this guy and we can, so we know who exactly who he is by giving him a name. And we're gonna call this guy Mc. And this is gonna be alien and it's not gonna be very, uh, exciting. Actually, this is gonna be, um, Bob, he's Bob four in my little list.
This guy, here's gonna be Mc underscore Bob one. Okay? Making sure there's no spaces in there, okay? Use underscores or hyphens and just go through and name your instances as you're working. This will give you, it's just good habit to get into. You don't have to have them, but later on when we start doing some of the publishing parts and we need to figure out who is what and do, uh, special things to them.
Um, especially like buttons. Okay? We need to give them instance names. So we're gonna go through and name all of ours now, MC Bob three. And this is gonna be Mc Bob five. All right?
That's how to name your instances when you're working in Adobe. Animate.
