Image Requirements

CVAD Image Requirements

Files that exceed 700KB should be compressed or emailed to cvad.Marketing@unt.edu. All images must be cleared in advance by the submitter for permission or copyright considerations and meet the requirements for image file size (weight in kilobytes) and dimensions (inches or pixels) described on this page.

Image File Size Matters: Please follow the Upload Images instructions to compress your image to meet the 700KB limit.

Important Note: If you have only a rasterized file, send the vector version, e.g., the native files of the art, or any text on the photo in a Word document or include it in the text field of your submission. Sending only a rasterized image without the separate text will delay your request until you send it. Examples of raster image file types are BMP, TIFF, GIF and JPG files.

Multiple images: If you have more than two images, email them to cvad.Marketing@unt.edu following the file size and dimensions specifications on this page.

Digital Screens in the Art Building

Required size: 1920w px x 935h px, 72 dpi; 8.5" x 11" posters will not be considered; .jpgs or .pngs only. When adding type, please set the type at least one inch (96 pixels) from the left, bottom and right for each digital screen's variable sizing or your submission may be returned or edited. Use very few words; this is like a billboard, and your message only gets a drive-by.

Send a minimum of one color image (.jpg or .png); the larger, the better — the minimum dimensions are 330 px x 330 px. Images larger than 700kb should be compressed to upload properly.

UNTCVAD Twitter

Posting is paused due to low engagement over 24 months. We refer the Twitter audience to Facebook, Instagram and the CVAD News and Views website.

UNTCVAD YouTube

The video must have open captions of the audio portions and a visual description. An open-captioned transcript and a Word document with visual descriptions are required to meet ADA requirements. Under Title II, publicly available videos for entertainment or informational purposes must be accessible to individuals with disabilities. In addition to the video file, the following elements are necessary for a successful upload: 1) a title (no more than 100 characters), 2) a general description paragraph about what viewers can expect in each video, and 3) a visual description paragraph for the blind (2 & 3 combined cannot exceed 5,000 characters).

Note: Did you know? On average, videos with captions increase in watch time compared to videos that don’t have them. By adding captions to your videos, you expand your reach to a wider audience, allowing more viewers to access and enjoy your content, from those who are deaf or hard of hearing to those who prefer to watch with no or low volume.
