Communications Resources

These resources are available to affiliates of the College of Engineering and Applied Science. Usage of these materials, per university policy, is expected to follow CU Boulder's brand and messaging guidelines. 

Please contact your unit communicator if you need something you do not find here. 

Digital signage is reserved for events and messaging that affect a majority of the College of Engineering & Applied Science student population and is hosted or sponsored by a CU dept., program or unit.

Requests must meet these guildelines:

  • Adheres to university brand policies for typography, color and logo usage
  • Approved by or designed by CEAS Creative
  • Requests must be submitted two weeks prior to requested display time
    • Display time for each slide = 2 weeks
  • Dimensions: 1920 x 1080 pixels
  • Format: .jpg

Slides run for only a few seconds. That means text should be kept very minimal. We recommend: 

  • Headline (5 words or less)
  • Short description of event (think like a tweet - around 140 characters)
  • Time/date/place of event 
  • QR code + URL to learn more (we can generate a QR code for you)
  • Must include sponsoring logo (college, department, unit, student org., etc.)

We encourage you to provide your own content. Below is a template and examples of screens we've run in the past:
