Creative Spotlight - help with your creatives

A little help with the creative:

Please take note, there are many tutorials out there for helping you create outstanding creative.
We have provided you with specific sizes and requirements, please understand we will only use creative that arrives on time and in the proper format.

Here are a few sites that describe how to create perfect online ads, graphics, etc.
Note that for instance, we aren't using google display ads, but they have wonderful instructions on creative :
