Four half-moon shaped wind slits must be cut into the large banner and three must be cut into the small banner, but the wind slit locations can shift to avoid text and graphic elements. For banners that need to feature another logo, place that logo at the bottom of the banner as far from the NC State logo as possible.

Samples
There are many design possibilities for pole banners, but the logo should never be moved or pushed up against any other color or graphic. The logo placement and clear-space requirements outlined in the logo section should be followed in this application as well. All designs must follow the type, color and photography guidelines outlined in this book, but these banners offer more creative freedom to explore design options within these guidelines.

The heading should be red Univers Condensed Bold 32 point in all caps. You can download all the PowerPoint templates from the Print Downloads page.

Standard Slide
The majority of the slides in your presentation will be this standard slide. It gives you the ability to customize the copy to include a heading, subhead and bullets. These slides include a gradient background to add some interest to the presentation, but additional slides with a white background are also available online. The heading should be red Univers Condensed Bold 32 point in all caps. The subheadings are black Univers Condensed Bold 28 point with title case capitalization. The bullets are black Univers Condensed 24 point with sentence style capitalization.
Sub-bullets (not shown) are black Univers Condensed 20 point, and they decrease 4 points for each subsequent sublevel. The white background should be used if you are including graphics that have a white space around them.

Photo Slide
When choosing photography for PowerPoint presentations, follow the same style guidelines detailed in the photography section. The photos should have active imagery with visual energy and flow. Unless the PowerPoint will be printed, the resolution of the photography can be Web quality (72 dpi) at the actual size it will be displayed. All photos should be sized or cropped to fit within the dimensions found in the PowerPoint templates online. The heading should be red Univers Condensed Bold 32 point in all caps. The bullets are black Univers Condensed 24 point with sentence style capitalization. Additional templates, including those with vertical photography and graphs are available here (insert link).

Visit the university photo gallery or the CALS photo gallery to access our photography database where you can quickly find photos for your presentation. Photo sizing guidelines are included in the PowerPoint templates online.

Photo Slide with Arial Typeface
If you aren’t able to get access to the Univers Condensed typeface, use the Arial typeface for your PowerPoint slides. The same design standards should be followed when using this typeface.

All text and image areas are editable, and if a field is not filled, it will simply not appear when the e-mail is sent. Photoshop templates are provided to properly format all images for their corresponding template.

All templates will display the contact information associated with the Bronto account in the footer, a statement about which e-mail address the correspondence was sent to and a link allowing recipients to change their e-mail address or unsubscribe. This information must be included on each e-mail.

Contact Bob Witchger, Web Communications to obtain the Bronto and Photoshop Templates.

Newsletter Template
An e-mail newsletter should be seen as a tool to drive viewers to content located on the Web (i.e. department or university news sites). There is one top story area with a place for a large picture, headline, teaser copy and link to the full story. The four smaller sections all offer editable images, headlines, teaser copy and links to the full story. The template is not designed to accommodate more than two short sentences per story. There are four different Photoshop templates that can be used to create the different image sizes.

The gray box offers an area for a dean or department head’s photo as well as a headline and message. Above the gray box are editable anchor links which link to each of the four sections. The headline, text and link at the bottom of the gray box are also editable.

Invitation Template
This invitation template offers an easy way to customize an e-mail to promote an event. The image and headline can be customized to fit the event.

More detailed copy can be included below the headline in black type. The time and location should be in red type.

Information about the event should be included in the black type below the location, with the most important information first. RSVP contact information should also be included.

The second image can be a map or another image, and there are Photoshop templates for the top and bottom image areas for easy formatting.

Faculty Announcement
The faculty announcement template provides an editable area for a headline and text block. A photo can be included and easily sized using the Photoshop template. A link to more information can also be added at the bottom of the template.
