Overview
Technology Services has embarked on a pilot project with a handful of departments on campus to provide digital signage to help these departments communicate certain information to the Gustavus community in public spaces. The digital signs are wall-mounted televisions that display a looping series of image slides, and are moderated solely by the departments that have purchased them.
While technically anyone from the Gustavus community may submit a slide to be run on any of the digital signs on campus, the approval of such slides is left to the discretion of the department(s) who moderate each sign. Individuals should be aware that departments may generally prefer (or strictly require) that submitted slides relate directly to their department.
Details
The slide you submit must be an image file saved as one of the following file formats:
- PNG Portable Network Graphics Format (*.png)
- JPEG File Interchange Format (*.jpg)
- GIF Graphics Interchange Format (*.gif)
For best results, your image should be exactly 1920 pixels wide and 1080 pixels high (a 16:9 aspect ratio).
To reinforce Gustavus branding and avoid overly distracting background images, Technology Services highly recommends you use one of the following PowerPoint templates as the basis for your slide:
Download one of these template files and open it with PowerPoint.
