As faculty develop new courses, they want to get the word out to as many potential students as possible. One way to do this is through the NC State Billboard system for digital signs.
A faculty member asked for ways to announce a new course. After reviewing a folder of campus examples I had gathered, I created a slide for this new course being offered in Fall 2019. Using information and graphics from an info card I’d created with the faculty member, I drafted a digital sign. After adding it to the Billboard system, I reached out to allied departments and the college intranet so that they would know about the course and the digital sign for the course. Multiple groups across campus added the slide to their screens.
Creating this slide required careful searching of stock photos for an appropriate equipment image. To keep the slide legible, the image transparency is high. The accent elements (title bar and ‘sticky note’) are secondary colors.
