    I think this is a great idea, seems like some kind of a Wysiwyg for "non graphic" designer to design there adds but instead of being offline like regular software is web based. Curious to see how this will work…

    Hi guys. Sorry but what does WYSIWYG mean?;)

    Hi Joe,

    WYSIWYG means "what you see is what you get", it's an editor that is intuitive.

    I see that the top add puts the text in the white space (bottom add), could it be that the algor finds the white space in the image and then automatically adjusts the font size to make it fit within that space? What about .pngs, transparent gifs ect…?
