Video Guidelines

By using common graphic elements for lower thirds, outros and captions, we ensure all our video content across the University is in brand and cohesive. Specific guidance for each element can be found in the Brand Guidelines.

Lower Thirds

For name identification, we have two animated lower-thirds templates for you to choose from for your projects. Review the Brand Guidelines for specific instruction on how to use.
