Ad suggestions for a site with little text?

I'd like to avoid cockroaches

So far, any sites I've built target specific niches and are very text-rich. But the content for one I'm working on now is made up mostly of (free) downloadable web elements/graphics. There will be some tutorial pages with affiliate links to the graphics program used to make the content, but other than that I'm at a loss. The site I know of that's most like the one I'm building uses the shoot-the-cockroach-and-win-an-ipod type of ad, which I'd really like to stay away from (based on how much they annoy me when I visit that site). What other options are there for pages that won't have enough text to make context ads viable? Visitors will be website owners, but ones "low tech" enough to need tutorials on basic web graphics, or to want to download the graphics rather than make their own. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

If you are going to be relying on SE traffic this could prove a little tricky to get good rankings. Maybe you could incorporate the sales into the tutorials so you have some searchable content. The other alternative is PPC. You could possibly include some webpage template programs with a bit of a write up on how to edit them and how to edit the graphics associated with the templates.

Thanks, Ska -- You've started me thinking about various ways to combine more than one type of content on a page, which is probably the way to do it. Templates will be included on the site; in fact, they're a link that will (hopefully!) bring some organic traffic from an established set of visitors. I hadn't thought of connecting them with the graphics tutorials, but that seems like a natural.
