26 Image Banners and Instructor Photos
Review the Online Style Guide for images and banners.
Using Image/Banner Templates
Course banners and instructor photos can be created and formatted using these PhotoShop templates:
- UVU_HomePage Banner-1200x360_(Template)
- UVU_Syllabus_OverviewBanner-1200x171_(Template)
- UVU_OTL_InstructorImage_Square_(Template)
- UVU_OTL_InstructorImage_Vert_(Template)
Download the templates to your computer and open them in Adobe PhotoShop. Once you have done that:
- Drag and drop your selected image over the template image.
- Size the image to the same width as the template image by pulling the “handles.”
- Drag the image to the desired position.
- Export the file as a .jpg using the course id somewhere in the title.
Adding Image Banners to the Course
- Before dropping the file into the images folder of your Canvas course, change the name of the file to match the name of the existing image file. (For example, you would change MUSIC-1236_banner.jpg to syllabus_banner.jpg.)
- Drop the file into the Canvas course image folder.
- Select “replace” to dynamically update all pages that call to the file.
