Features
Digital signage is a way of electronically displaying information on a screen.
- Departments interested in digital signage may contact IT Solutions to receive consultation on product choices to meet their needs.
- IT Solutions will also assist departments purchasing their own signage with options on displaying messages. (format, etc...)
- Locations for new digital signage will also need to be reviewed and approved through TWU's Office of Design Services (Facilities Management)
- Departments that own signage manage the content and may choose to accept direct requests for material to be displayed.
Requesting Signage Display
Across TWU's campuses, IT Solutions owns the digital signage on the kiosks and in the computer labs. It also maintains additional signage in Dallas and Houston. Requests to display content on these signs should be made through the Service Desk or by clicking Request Service on this page.
-
Signage must be a file type of .jpg format and not exceed 750kb.
-
For maximum impact, design the sign with a 10% border and with content that can be digested in fewer than 10 seconds. (Digital signage is only one of many communication opportunities at TWU.)
-
To have the signage on all available Technology screens, please provide both a landscape (1920x1080 px or 16:9) and a portrait (1080x1920 px or 9:16) version of the sign.
-
Please make requests no later than one week in advance.
-
TWU Marketing & Communication should approve marketing materials.
For your design convenience, PowerPoint Templates of both styles (Horizontal/Landscape and Vertical/Portrait) are attached. Please download, edit, save, and then "Save as" .jpg.
Requests that do not conform to these requirements may not be posted.
Note: All display signage will end at the end of the current academic semesters. Re-submit the request for the following academic semester when the consecutive academic semester starts.
