Three Easy Steps to Designing a Banner Ad!

1. Start with a good picture that you own the copyrights to, or a freely usable royalty-free image. Make sure it is at a high enough resolution (large enough size), so that when you use a smaller cropped-out section of the image, it will still be of sufficiently high quality, and won’t look pixelated.

2. Resize and/or Crop the image creatively to a horizontal banner size of 468 pixels Wide x 60 pixels High (file size up to 50 Kb).

3. Write your own company's name or URL on it, then flatten the image and save it as a JPEG (*.JPG) file. Done! Your Banner is now ready to upload to the Joy Of Modeling website. See the two examples below:

   Example 1 (Original Uncropped Picture): Finished Banner 1

   Example 2 (Original Uncropped Picture): Finished Banner 2

4. If you do not have good image-editing software, you may create a Free Banner Ad at one of the following websites (not affiliated with Joy Of Modeling):
