APPENDIX Ad Dimensions vs. Image Dimensions Ad Dimensions are the number of pixels in the ad placement. Image Dimensions are the number of pixels in the image used in the ad placement. For hi-resolution graphics, the image dimensions are 2x the ad dimensions, so there are more pixels in the same ad space. This creates a crisper, clearer looking ad. Safe Content Area: In-Depth Safe Content Area refers to the area of the ad unit that is visible on all devices (without scrolling). This area accounts for screen space occupied by the device s persistent interface, such as the browser s address bar. The Safe Content Area should contain all pertinent messaging, logos and call to action buttons. The Large Screen Extension area is the space that is visible on larger devices. Visibility is varied based on the screen size of the device. Creative Positioning Creatives are always positioned top-center within the ad placement; therefore, in landscape orientation the large screen extension is on the left and right.
