What You Need in the End

Hey, welcome to the publishing part of the video series. Now, um, this is the what you, what you need at the end. And essentially you're gonna hit file publish,  maybe you've got to hit that publish button  and not just use any the temporary files. Um, and you end up with some h tm L some JavaScript  and some images and you zip those up  and then you send them off. I wish, okay,  but, uh, there is a little bit  of extra stuff you need to do. If it's a really simple ad network like say Google's  AdWords, then yeah, that's all you need  to do is send the zip up  and, uh, generally it works pretty fine.

Um, but with pretty much everybody else,  there's a little bit of fiddling you need to do  with the HTML file and generally it's just copy  and pasting bits of code unique to that ad group  or that ad network and yeah, um, you copy and paste it in. So, and everyone's slightly different. So what you're gonna have to do is in this tutorial I'll  take you through a couple of ones that I know  and hopefully that'll give you a flavor of what people want  and where it goes and how to get it in there. Um, but uh, you are gonna have  to kinda work out specifically from the specs from your  um, ad provider. Um, the best way to get started of um, tends to be, is to go  to say you are with Double click, um, and go  and find, they'll have some  templates, I know they've got templates. Um, find the ad, the exact size,  the exact same thing you're trying to do.

Download the example and use the HTML  file and have a look into it. Open it up in a code editor, either Dreamweaver or Brackets  or Komodo or something else sublime  and just see what's in there  and see if there's any tags in there. Um, you know, check out their specs,  check out what's in their example and just kind of copy  and paste the bits that you might need. Okay? And hopefully you should be able to work it out,  but we'll do a few ourselves. Now what happens is, um, quite often as a designer,  like my role is to do the kind of creative stuff  and I do a bit of adding the, the code,  but often if it's gonna be a very complex kind of ad group  that you're going out into, often I'll hand that artwork  or this file, this zip file off to a developer  and they'll either do one or two things.

They'll either send me what's called a template, okay,  which I can jam into Adobe Animate  and I just click add template and click publish. And that does add all the HTML bits that I need. Otherwise, they might be adding it to them, uh,  to it themselves before sending it off into, uh, you know,  to be used as artwork. So figure out where you sit in the role,  whether you're a one man band  or whether you are part of a bigger team  and getting help from developers. Alright, let's see you the next video.
