Summary


With aviation advertising for the big screen, we created a bold, high-impact ad that looks great on the iPad's large 9.7 inch screen. In this chapter, you learned about:

  • Creating full screen HTML5 banners for the iPad

  • Including multiple banner creatives in your iAd

  • Testing ads with multiple banners, and those with fullscreen HTML5 banners, using iAd Tester

  • Stealing objects from templates that aren't available in the object library

  • That there aren't many technical differences between iPad and iPhone ads, but the experience should be tailored to take full advantage of the iPad's rich large multi-touch screen

Now, you're able to create awesome adverts for the iPhone and iPad. In the next chapter, let's take a look at extending their functionality with some simple JavaScript code.
