Image Guidelines

If you are submitting an image for the Chapel pre-service announcements, it would be best if it is in a 1920×1080 (1080p) resolution. Any slide or image must be in landscape (widescreen) format. Keep in mind, we do not use PowerPoint to project announcements. Images (JPEG, PNG) are the best format.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Please review the following if you have questions about your PowerPoint file. If you question is not answered below, please send an e-mail to media@northwestu.edu.

What about included graphics files?

If you are creating graphics or backgrounds, they should also be made in the correct aspect ratio. Our projector displays 1920×1080 (1080p) resolution. Similar HD resolutions work.

What about other media files?

Audio Files – We can play audio tracks either off your device or email them to media@northwestu.edu.

Video Files – It is ok to submit a file via email, posting online, or bringing a disc. Please try to submit videos early so we can cue it up before the service, otherwise we will not be able to play it. Videos cannot be accepted any later than 9:30 AM on that chapel day!
