Digital Signage

Content and Design Considerations

Ads will be shown for 30 seconds each, so please keep text to a minimum, focusing only on key information:

  • event title and/or speaker
  • date and time
  • location
  • registration link (use go.iu.edu to shorten links)

Be sure key information is most prominent. Abstracts and event summaries should be limited to one sentence and should be the most compelling selling point for the event. Use no more than two images per ad and leave space around the edge of the ad to avoid crowding.

Images should also be designed with accessibility in mind. Refer to the Knowledge Base article on accessibility for digital signage content creation and design.

Note: Departments and programs may use the Digital Signage Request Form to have your ad created for you.

Submitting Your Ad

Submit completed ads to: teamadmn@iu.edu

Please allow at least 3 business days for your ad to be posted. Plan ahead when to submit your ad so it can run 10-14 days before the event date.
