Ad design best practices
1. Create visual hierarchy
-
Image → Headline → CTA.
-
Cut to the chase with concise, impactful copy.
- Choose high-quality, on-brand visuals that reinforce your message.
2. Keep it legible
-
Use clear fonts (no smaller than 11–12 pt).
-
Give elements room to breathe — white space improves legibility and brand recognition.
- Make sure your logo is visible but not overpowering.
3. Make your CTA pop
-
Be specific and actionable (“Register Today” instead of “Click Here”).
-
Use strong contrast so buttons stand out.
-
Add urgency when relevant (“Last Chance,” “Don’t Miss Out”).
