On the Ledet Adobe training website, we’ve produced a free Photoshop .PSD template for all standard web ad sizes. It includes tips and tricks on how to design and place web ads for top effectiveness. This Adobe Photoshop .PSD template has all standard ad sizes organized in layers that are grouped both by common usage and by compliance with the new 2009 IAB standards. You can use this template for creating your own ads or for ad placeholders in web design comps and wireframes.
