Could Jin please design an ad for our Launch Party, along the lines of the text below?

(Jin and the community should feel free to edit the text.)

  • The main ad we need would be an image suitable for pasting into blog posts and emails.

  • Secondarily, it would be nice to have an 8X11.5" PDF for printing out (or emailing for those who can't embed images in their emails).

  • Yep I'll work on this. For the web Ad image, do you have a rough estimate on the dimension? (in pixels)

  • @Jin, Thanks! I guess that of the standard web ad sizes, what I think would work best for this purpose would be either Medium Rectangle (300X250) or Large Rectangle (336X280), but I don't have much experience in web ads, so I defer to your or anyone else's judgement.

  • @Jin, I realize that not all of the text I listed above will necessarily fit into these sizes. Like I said, please feel free to edit it down. Please make sure to include the names "Rabbi Gil Student" and either "Hirhurim" or "TorahMusings.com", as these are well-known names to our target audience, and we're hoping that they'll help us bring in people from outside SE.

    @Jin, one more note: Starting tonight at sundown will be Sabbath, and that will be followed immediately by a 48-hour (24-hour in Israel) holiday of Shavu'ot. So, most of the most active members of this community will be off of the site from sundown tonight until late Monday night, so don't be surprised if you (are working on the weekend and) happen to ask for feedback during that period and don't get any immediately.

  • @Jin ... and I can't get at chat right now, though I'll check in later today. I saw that you pinged me with respect to something about the ad capacity. I've edited in two possible stripped-down texts above, but feel free to edit.

    @IsaacMoses thanks for the edit. I think the text works for smaller Ads. I'll be posting various sizes of the Ad designs soon.

    Thanks! They look great. Could you please change the referenced URL to LaunchParty.yodeya.com? That's the landing page for the party itself.

    If the text for launchparty.yodeya.com doesn't fit, you can use launch.yodeya.com, which I just assigned

  • @IsaacMoses I wonder if we'll even need the URL? The ad banner should already link to the launch party page itself right? For print materials the url is needed.

  • @Jin, if people paste one of these images into an email or social media, they may not be able to or remember to link it. It will work most robustly if the image itself contains all the information necessary to get right to the party.
