Advertising in the Campus Center
Digital Signage System (D-Flyers)
The D-Flyers play on the two (2) screens at the north and south entrances to the Campus Center. Any club, office, organization, or group recognized by the College may submit D-Flyers to advertise specific events and happenings on campus.
Formatting D-Flyers
- The slide can easily be created in Microsoft Publisher, Adobe Photoshop, and other programs. The final file types must be submitted in one of the following image types: .JPG, .TIF, .PNG, & .BMP.
- Please make these slides visually interesting; using color, fonts, pictures, and graphics. Additionally, do not make the slide so busy that information is lost on those just passing by.
- Horizontal slides are best due to the orientation of the screens.
- There may be no references to drugs or alcohol.
