Tips for choosing images

  • Style of Image

    We suggest that you avoid any busy images - simpler images will often be more effective.

  • Copyright

    Ensure you own copyright for the image you use or that it is available under a suitable licence e.g. Creative Commons.

  • Relevance

    Make sure the image is relevant to your module so as not to confuse staff or students.

  • File Size
    Ensure your image isn't too large in terms of file size or resolution and is appropriate for your module. Images should have a minimum width of 1024 pixels but no more than 2000 pixels
  • Aspect Ratio
    Images should have a 2.7 : 1 aspect ratio. The width of the image should be about 2.7 times the height. You can achieve this using the ‘crop’ tool using photoshop or similar applications. If your image is taller or shorter it might get cut off at the bottom or side.
