Screen Design/Layout for Departments

See below for information about digital signage screen design and layout for Texas A&M University College of Engineering departments.

Ad size

All department screens use the same ad size (whether a screen has horizontal or vertical orientation).
Ad size is 1920 x 1080 pixels, (horizontal 16:9), 72 PPI.
Files must not exceed 2 MB.

Templates

A template is a predetermined layout of content regions on a screen. When joining the engineering digital signage network, you agree to use a template provided by Engineering Communications unless other arrangements are made. Visitors across the Engineering Program should see a consistent and cohesive brand presence, while showcasing unique content for each area of Texas A&M Engineering. Please contact us at engcomm-digitalsignage@tamu.edu for screen layout and content area templates.
