Since no one clicks on those small banners (see proof of eye-tracking studies), publishers are gonna try something different before the Summer:

  • The Fixed Panel (recommended dimension is 336 wide x 860 tall), which looks naturally embedded into the page layout and scrolls to the top and bottom of the page as a user scrolls.
  • The XXL Box (recommended dimension is 468 wide x 648 tall), which has page-turn functionality with video capability.
  • The Pushdown (recommended dimension is 970 wide x 418 tall), which opens to display the advertisement and then rolls up to the top of the page.
  • I Wish I Had Designed It: The Adobe CS3 drag-it-it-expands banner

    Just plain simple and beautiful. Visible on the Layer Tennis site.

    Pretty neat set of banners for the Sex and the City movie. Simulated 3D effects and micro-site feel. In case you’re not overwhelmed yet by Carrie and her desperate crew. Too bad the site itself sucks bad time.

    (Achtung: Some banners in the sets are really lame, I’m talking about the ones with the NY skyline made of B&W pics)
