Welcome to the Image Sizing Guide, this guide is split up by what users can access certain image uploaders. Please be aware that many images are responsive to the screen so it is difficult to provide exact sizing, the below information is simply a starting point.

Please note that this guide is incomplete, these are the most commonly asked for sizes. If there is something not included in this list please contact support@campusgroups.com to request guidelines if you can not find it within the platform notes.

Events

Event Photos

Event Photo is a nice photo or background image representing your event. It will be displayed in the upcoming events slider on the home page, on the right of your event page, and in the mobile app. This is a great way to promote your event.

It will be cropped into 380px high and 760px wide rectangle. Please upload a photo with of width of 760px or more. Photos with an aspect ratio of 1:2 will work best, so 12in x 6in (864 px x 432 px) will preserve quality and fit great.

Event Flyer

Your Flyer is the key information about your event displayed in a visual way. We will display your flyer to people who mouse over your event in the calendar, in email invitations, and in the event details section of your event page.

Event Flyers will display in the full width of the details section (roughly 1100px wide). This means that portrait sized photos will fill in that width and can appear oversized.

Email Builder

Email images will automatically resize to fit their space. You have complete freedom to create whatever you would like in these spaces. There is not one recommended size for these, feel free to use whatever images you have, it should work to accommodate most images and sizes.

For both options, the width really doesn't need to be much larger than the recommended minimum, however, I wouldn't go much smaller either. For the Height of each option, this is what it most flexible. The image uploaders will resize the images to fit the width of the space so the image aspect ratio will be preserved.

Booth Main Image

The virtual fairs booth's main photo follows the same aspect ratio rules as our event photos.

Virtual Fair Custom Map

The dimensions of the map will really depend entirely on what kind of user experience you want your users to have. Our map view is flexible and responsive so there isn’t one correct size to use for this map. Here are a few of our recommendations from our Graphic Designer.

  • If you want more freedom and creativity and you don’t mind a user experience of scrolling down the page to view your full map then you have total freedom to create whatever dimensions you want, keeping in mind the
