Design Guidelines

Photography

1. Choose a background image for your digital sign:
   • Minimum size: width 2000 pixels, height 1125 pixels, resolution 300 px/in, 16:9 aspect ratio 
   • Please choose photographs:
     • that have a plain area on the left 1/3 of the image
     • that have a focal point that is not located on the left 1/3 of the photograph as it will be covered up by a dark teal text box
     • that do not have any typography or distracting graphics, as this is the purpose of the dark teal text box
2. Marketing and Communications can choose a suitable image for you from the digital photography catalogue if you cannot find one.
3. In certain cases, the Trent University digital photography catalogue won't have the image you are searching for, in which case you can look at Thinkstock and provide us with the photograph name that you are considering.
