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.

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.

Transcript

Okay, so what's next? Uh, we've finished, we've designed some ads. Uh, we've kept the file size down  and we've worked on publishing. Now, the big next thing is to use the forums for questions  because I, I totally understand,  'cause me getting my head around this with not a lot  of support, um, took me forever to understand  how it all works and what goes together  and what works in this kind of HTML five banner ad stuff. So there might be a few things  that you still need clarity on. That's totally cool, and I totally understand.

So use the forum on this page, um, post questions. Um, also what I'd love you  to do is if you've made yourself say, one  of those H TM L templates, um, is to post it or, um,  or at least kind of like zip it up  and give you a whole ad so  that people can pull it apart along with the FLA file. So that, say you've done it, you finally cracked the code  for some other kind of like ad trafficking network site, um,  that I haven't mentioned here. Got 'em together. Um, and then you've got it worked  and it's got through validation  and it's perfect is to, um, zip it up  and add it to the forum that way that somebody else,  some other poor, um, creative can, um, leverage  what you've done in the pain you've gone through. So ask questions, post all the stuff  that actually works up there so  that other people have got some, yeah,  some resources to work with.

The other thing you can do is follow me on Twitter. I'm Dan loves Adobe. Or if you're a Facebook person,  it's facebook.com/bring your own laptop. Alright, that's it for this Adobe Animate course. Um, good people.
