Submission Timing

Managing Monitors

  • The MarCom team manages the content on the majority of the monitors and kiosks. Some monitors throughout the college are managed by units within the college including Departments, Schools and certain Centers (depending on location).
  • A CIP or unit may be given permission to manage a monitor and post their own content if the location is primarily dedicated to that CIP or unit (such as the current Blank Center location) and the monitor is not in a highly trafficked area (such as outside an elevator) that serves other units on that floor or proximal area.
  • The physical devices are managed by Tech Services. If you see an issue with a device, contact them here.

Graphic Requirements

All signage must follow Moody College and UT Austin brand guidelines , follow UT Austin AI generated content guidelines and adhere to UT digital accessibility standards.

  • Color contrast should be minimum 4.5:1  (digital)
  • Contrast difference for digital graphics is expressed as a ratio ranging from 1:1 (white on white), 21:1 is black on white
  • Do not to use black and orange together
  • Utilize contrast checker (need to pass Double A, ideally Triple A)
  • Use UT brand colors (primary colors must be included)

Slides that do not meet branding or accessibility requirements will be returned for revision.
