  Design Tips:

  • Black means the LED is off. White means the LED is 100 percent on. Thus, saturation of a color will control the brightness and visibility of that color.
  • Portraits do not display well. For example, we do not accept artwork that includes a headshot.
  • Keep in mind when designing that the visibility may be poor at certain times of day due to direct sunlight.
  • Optional: Use Clemson University colors and fonts: Brand Guidelines

  If your submission does not meet the above specifications, the files will not be approved.

• Hallway Digital Signage

  We have two kinds of digital signage in the building: traditional digital signage and interactive digital signage. Seven 75” signage displays are located on the second floor hallway outside of the classrooms, and four 75” signage displays are located on the third floor hallway outside of the classrooms. Interactive signage will only display digital signage messages when not being interacted with.
