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.
Digital Screens Image Orientation
Color and Contrast:
- Avoid dark backgrounds with neon colors or white text.
- Ensure a 70% contrast between the background and text using a color contrast checker.
Font: Use clean, easy-to-read fonts.
Content: Keep information concise and readable within 12 seconds.
Links and QR Codes:
- Include a short link or QR code for more details.
- QR codes must be black with a white background. You can create a free QR code at qrcode-monkey.com.
