Announcement Slides
- Announcement slides should be "reminders" of information people have already read elsewhere: in the monthly newsletter, the weekly email, in a single subject email.
- The slide should include: What, when, where, and who is putting on the event.
- The fewer words the better.
- Using one graphic is helpful and eye-catching. We also need to be sure we are allowed to use them; it's not okay to just pull graphics off the internet. A good site for usable images is www.pixabay.com.
- We don't typically use "cartoon-y" feeling graphics.
- Tech Team creates the announcement slides using PowerPoint. The simplest way to get the information for a slide announcement is to create the slide using PowerPoint and email the PowerPoint to [email protected] using this template.
- Alternatively, email the suggested text and attach/provide the graphic you want to use.
- Please send Tech Team the information no later than the Wednesday evening before the Sunday of your announcement slide.
