Good Header: People.com has an amazing banner ad of the Apple iPod Touch. I love how it goes “outside the box” and uses both audio and visual to make this appealing. I want to buy an iPod touch just because this ad is so awesome!
Bad Header: Staying in the same genre of websites, Us Weekly’s site has such a plain looking banner ad on their website. It’s harder to even notice because it’s smaller and the lack of sound makes the ad less appealing to me.

I am a marketing major, so an Ad Agency would be a great place to start my career. I found this company called 360i, which is a digital marketing firm that has done campaigns for companies like Marvel Comics, MTV, and NBC Universal. Their website has such a great use of flash and I think it is simply awesome. The concept of having a circle and being able to click on different parts of it really makes sense for a company called 360i since a circle has 360 degrees. Check out the site here.
