Design Guidelines

Digital Screen Design Guidelines for ADA Compliance: To ensure accessibility for the WPI community, all digital screen designs must follow ADA compliance guidelines. Keep designs simple and easy to view.

Key Requirements:

  • Format: Think of the screens as a powerpoint presentation. Your design must be horizontal/landscape format with a 16:9 ratio (1920 x 1080 pixels). Designs that don’t meet this specification will be returned for redesign.

Requesting your design be added to Social Media: 

If you have already created a design in vertical/portrait format, such as a flyer or poster, and would like this added to the screens, please create another version of your design with the content in a horizontal/landscape format before submitting. Please do not send PDFs.
