Photoshop CS5: Best Practices for Banner Ad Design

[richmediadp]

Unfortunately, in Photoshop there is no way around having to work with a large file size. I would suggest if you are making large format banners that you work in Adobe Illustrator because of the vector scaleability.

You get to design ads by marketing your business and skills to other businesses who need your services just as I am doing with this video. Yes, I would suggest you get a legitimate copy of Photoshop. As a potential graphic designer, you should understand that all your designs will be under your copyright (or legal ownership) and just as you would not want your creative product stolen or swiped by others without being paid, it works the same for the creators of Photoshop.(Adobe) Good Luck!

how do you get job's doing adds Id like to know. I have photoshop but its pirated, do you need a valid version?

@pandahero707 It also helps to have a strong portfolio of ads (if that's what kind of work you're looking for). If you can't afford Photoshop, then do a search for open source photo editing software. If you haven't gone through graphics and art training, then that is something you may want to look into as well. Good luck!
