Creating Slides for Website Carousels
Slides for the front page (or kids' page) of our website are often sourced from the Electronic Sign slides. However, this is not a requirement. In any case, IT will often have to edit slides before being added to the website.
Requirements for submitting slides
Slides should be designed using PowerPoint. This allows for easy editing of text in the event of errors or updates. It also permits easier conversion from the television-based aspect ratio to the website slider aspect ratio.
Text, or entire slides, should not be un-editable graphical images. Again, for editability.
If a slide exists on an Electronic Sign and is fully editable as described above, IT will take care of the needed changes for website publication. If you are making your own slide, please consider the following.
Aspect Ratio and Size
The Electronic Slides for branch TV Displays use a 16:9 aspect ratio. However, slides for the Carousels use a 3:1 aspect ratio.
Slides are 900x300. They can be larger, but they must still maintain the 3:1 ratio.
