Design Restrictions
- A gradient fade will be applied to the Wallpaper XL automatically beginning 600px from the top of the creative.
- The Wallpaper is designed to be complementary to other ad units. Due to a high probability that the full width of the Wallpaper will not be viewed on most devices, it is highly recommended to only have non-essential brand elements within the Wallpaper area wrapping the sides of the site content, as logos and text may not be viewable.
- Wallpaper creative cannot have any repeating logos or patterns and is subject to final editorial approval by ESPN.
- Do not block out the center Wallpaper space that will appear behind content as the page width may vary or not align correctly for all users.

- The Wallpaper cannot be sold on an individual basis; it must be paired with a Banner, Pushdown, or Video Showcase.
- The Wallpaper XL will be visible to users with a screen resolution greater than or equal to 1280px wide.
