20 Image Banners and Instructor Photos
Guidelines
- Image banners should be photographs only.
- Homepage and syllabus banners should use a variation of the same image.
- Overview pages can use different images.
Creating and Formatting
Course banners and instructor photos can be created and formatted using these PhotoShop templates:
Instructions
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 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.
