Digital Collateral

Digital Graphics

Promote your service, project, or event with digital graphics.

• Teams: We offer graphics to post in Teams channels, chats, or teams.
• Social Media: We make graphics for use on social media outlets. Unit logos are required.
• Websites: We create graphics to add to webpages (CampusPress, Cascade, and Sitecore.)
• Email: We offer graphics to add to emails. (See this short video on why text in email graphics should be brief.)
• MavWire: We create graphics to pair with announcements for MavWire (and other newsletters.)
• Events.UTA.edu: We create graphics for the UTA events calendar.

If you would like all of these graphics, request a Communication Kit instead.

We need the following information with each request for digital graphics:

1. what you would like the graphic to look like
2. what text you would like on the graphic (text should be no more than 140 characters)
3. when you need to review a first draft of the graphic

Please note that QR codes are typically excluded from these digital graphics due to the need to prioritize all available space for legible text, and because those viewing the graphic on their computer are unlikely to want to pull it up on their phone. Those viewing on their phone cannot scan a QR code from the webpage, email, or application where the graphic is displayed.

Digital Signage

We design graphics for monitors across campus.

Users make their own digital signage reservations.

We need the following information with each request:

1. what you would like it to look like
2. the brief text you would like to include
3. the target for your website link and QR code
   • when you need to review a first draft
4. which of the areas listed below you have permission to use

GIFs

We can create animated GIFs to use on websites or in Teams.

Digital Flyers

Digital flyers are letter-size documents to highlight an announcement, event or service.

They are saved as PDFs and hosted online. They can also be printed. They must be accessible.

Digital flyers are professionally designed and not editable by users. (See Effective Flyers if you want to create an accessible flyer that you can maintain independently.)

Digital flyers are not a replacement for webpages. Good user experience design prioritizes the users’ needs and gets them the information they need as quickly as possible. If we can avoid “burying things in a PDF,” we should do so.
