The people I have been working with at Mindshare Australia really know their stuff about the planning and creation of online advertising and have been great to work with. We had a close relationship with the team at Eyeblaster and so I created this set of examples of great Eyeblaster online advertising creative to let people know what is possible and to help explain what such things as a home page takeover, overlay and even expandable banners were!

There are examples for most of the more interactive formats and a link through to the actual creative on the Eyeblaster creative showcase.  Note that these links haven’t been converted very well by Slideshare so you’ll probably unfortunately end up having to search for the particular creative from the showcase home page.

During my time in Australia it surprised me how few people in the media industry actually knew how websites and other online media went from that initial wish and idea through to an all singing and dancing live website or application. And some of the agencies that I talked to did not have a web design and build process to work to either. Pretty troubling in this day and age.

So I produced this process overview to help introduce a particular staged approach to designing and building online media. It’s nothing new of course and widely used by most creative and digital agencies, albeit with different stage names and sometimes a stage or two more. My process her was originally formulated by us at Object1 way back at the turn of the century (and that feels quite strange to write!) and has of course evolved somewhat, but essentially works to keep everyone within a structured approach. yes, there are other methodologies and processes that could suit you better. Agile for one. but I thought I’d share this to help those who’d like to know how things generally work, those in need of a process and clients who could do with some more knowledge about what’s going on.

I have included example outputs for each stage, responsibilities and some key things to be aware of. it doesn’t purport to cover everything but I hope you find it of some use and happy to hear your thoughts and suggestions.
