Another bounty for artists. I'm intrigued! I have a few questions though. Forgive me if they sound silly, but I do not use facebook, so I don't know what their ads are supposed to look like.
Can the image be an animated gif?
Is there a max file size or specific file type that must be used?
Also...
Should we be using the Steem logo? As the roadmap stated that Steemit will be getting its own, different logo from steem.
Do we have the creative freedom to use our own slogans for Steemit?
Hi @son-of-satire - thanks for your interest. I was really hoping you would participate :) I don't know the answers to your questions, but I will try to find out tonight and let you know. If you have the time, you could look them up - it is Facebook's ad rules, so they should be public.
For gifs, it looks like the answer is yes:
Format: .MOV, .MP4 or .GIF files
Resolution: at least 720p
File size: 2.3 GB max
Recommended aspect ratio: widescreen (16:9)
Facebook: 60 minutes max
You are welcome to use the Steem logo.
I would avoid slogans though. Facebook is pretty clear that they don't really want much text in the image. The less text the better.
I was hoping to get started on this today, but I must say, I'm incredibly confused now.
I was picturing a small ad that would appear at the side or the bottom of the screen.. But based no the specs you have provided, it sounds like you're looking for a full screen video.
Is there any chance you could provide me with a link to an example facebook ad? Or do I just need to turn off my adblocker and go to facebook?>
Your first impression was right. It is small. I only included the info on animated gif ones because you asked. There is an example in the post of what one looks like.
