The illustration was first painted by hand and then digitized. To give it that authentic book feel. The crafting and execution on this banner is of the highest quality.

Definitely beautifully crafted. Nice.

Hate to be negative Hamish, but whilst the image may have been crafted the idea hasn't. Your average punter doesn't go online looking for ads to ignore. They just ignore them full stop. as for the annoying sfx, well the less said the better. Glue have done some great work, but this really isn't anyware near great.

excellent work, clear a space on the shelf for some awards. to address stan lee, that's why you write in a mouse timer to do something if no one interacts and such is the case with this one.

Sorry, Stan, but I have to agree with Eric. Saying an ad is poor because people tend to ignore them doesn't really add much to the debate, now does it? Our job is to make these things interesting / cryptic / enticing / compelling enough that people don't ignore them.
