Ad Banners For The Hoi Polloi

Some days, I just don't want to mess with Photoshop. But what's an author to do if (a) she's too lazy to use Photoshop; or (b) she's too poor to procure Photoshop and/or doesn't have a programmer husband to procure Photoshop for her?

Design awesome banner ads like this one FREE at AdDesigner.com

That's right. She cheats. She uses a web-based banner designer like this one. Of course, then she has to put up with the FREE AD mess in the corner, but it's a small price to pay, especially compared to the arm and leg you'll have to give up in order to buy Photoshop.

Have any other web-based ad banner creators you like? Any other freebie/cheapie ways to make 'em? Let me know in the comments and I'll add your ideas on Promo-Ho.com.

    Hey Sonja,

    I love your ads. The guy reminds me of Derek in Gray's Anatomy. That's so cool that you figured out how to make the banners and animated them.

    I felt like something was missing though. Was there a free ware program you used instead of photoshop to get started?

    Let me know, Okay???

    I've used the site you mentioned, Sonja and created a couple of banners that are on my website:
