Creative Best Practices
PSD Design File - Photoshop Template
As a part of our design process, the PGA TOUR requires clients to submit a layered photoshop file including all assets, text files, logos, and more. This is the most efficient & effective way to bring designs to life on PGATOUR.COM. Complete each required canvas size in the PSD to utilize ads on all platforms, including; desktop, mobile, and tablet.
Brand
The brand promoted in the creative stays presents. Logos are outlines in separate colored backgrounds and brand text is often bold/colored. The user should never lose track of the brand promoting the creative.
Video Integration
Integration of video within creative helps elevate the creative and promotes further engagement beyond a ‘click’ with a user; captures longer attention time and helps promote brand storytelling. When implementing video assets in high impact ad-slots, please deliver video assets separately from the PSD file.
Imagery
Strong product imagery or brand graphic treatment. Allow your brand to standout with clean photography that feels native to the ad unit and the website.
Typography
Typography intersects well with the colors and graphics incorported in the creative; the strategy helps the text standut and not be cluttered by the imagery/graphics incorporated in the creative. Simple headlines that stand out, grabbing the user’s attention led to higher engagement.
