How To Get Your Message on the TV

Dinging Services has embarked on a pilot project with GTS to provide digital signs in the Market Place. The sign simply rotates through a series of images. This is advantageous to campus students/staff, because it aids in raising awareness for a variety of on campus events, beliefs, and issues. In order to get your message on the sign, you must create an image and submit it to dining services for approval and inclusion in the rotation.

Creating an image to go on the sign

Open the template in Power Point

1. First open Market Place Slide Show Template in Power Point
2. Upon opening the template, 5 slides listing information about the Market Place will be displayed. You may manipulate these slides in any way (i.e. changing text, adding slides), however, you must keep the background the same and should not use less than 26point fonts.
