Like the design elements, it is cross-media and can be adapted to other media without any problems. The logo and vertical layer form a closed unit – the logo / layer form. It is always at the top left of the ad and is used across all media. The flexible height of the image area is typical for the new layout. Running copy and the tagline are placed in the white space below it. The height of the white space depends on how much copy there is. Also important is the “Transparent Layer” which is prominently placed on the image area and white space. It consists of a large, slightly translucent area (“Big Bar”) and a small colored area (“Small Bar”). This gives the copy impact and good legibility. The “Big Bar” contains the headline and an optional subhead. The URL is always placed in the “Small Bar”. 6
