How to design a clear 250 × 250 ad

Square artwork offers room for a simple hierarchy: identity, message and next step.

Build a clear hierarchy

Create a 250 × 250 pixel canvas. Give the business name, main message and next step distinct space. A viewer should not need to read a paragraph.

Use contrast intentionally

Choose a background and text combination that stays readable at the final size. Do not rely on colour alone to communicate essential information.

Keep branding intact

Use artwork and logos you have permission to display. Preserve the proportions of a logo and avoid stretching or recolouring another organization’s identity.

Preview before submitting

Read the banner on both desktop and mobile. Supply useful alternative text describing the business and offer without adding unsubstantiated claims.
