O V E R V I E W & COLO R P ALETTEs This style guide outlines the HTML text styles, color usage and image formats for the newly redesigned Emmanuel College Web site. In order to ensure visual consistency throughout the site, it is important to follow these guidelines as closely as possible.

General Rules • Body content should always be flush left, never centered or flush right.

Color Palettes The following HTML colors have been carefully selected to match Emmanuel College’s identity, support current collateral designed for Emmanuel, and to ensure maximum readability on the Web. Text colors should be used as they are available in the CMS. To maintain consistency throughout all areas of the site, additional colors should snot be used.

• Page content should not begin with a bulleted list. • For maximum consistency and readability, use only the text styles and colors available in the CMS.

Primary Palette

• Text modifications should be used sparingly, or they may become overwhelming and affect readability. If certain words require additional emphasis, apply a style that is bold or italic. • All content or in-line images must be re-sized to the appropriate dimensions for the page on which they will appear and saved as 72 dpi JPG files. • Imagery should be used judiciously within content, and only when it supports the message within the content. • Where “Resources” & “See Also” links and embedded content links are permitted, the links should be directly relevant to the content of the page. These links should not lead the user to unrelated information.

interaction, but should also feature strongly the facilities located on campus. In the Web medium, certain types of imagery works better than others:

• All in-line images should be placed in the left-hand side of the content area, and should not be centered or placed on the right. • In-line images (content images) for standard page designs should be sized to 115 x 135 pixels and saved as 72 dpi JPG files. • Use of in-line (content) images next to a bulleted list, list of links, or quote module is not recommended.

• Tight shots (close-ups on subject or content) work much better than wider shots. • Images with a lot of detail and/or complicated composition are less effective. • All images need to be able to work well at a relatively small size. • Simple backgrounds work best; in the online environment too many details can easily overwhelm the rest of the subject matter.

usage & Definitions

Modules BigBad has created several specialty modules for the new Emmanuel Web site. Modules are essentially content enhancing assets that allow the user to gain access to related and/or additional information that is strategically relevant to the page and it’s content. You will find a listing and additional information on the modules in the CMS.

Looking Closer Module

Module Examples

Looking Closer A link to the Looking Closer Module will appear on the Home page as well as Standard Level 2 pages. Clicking into this link from the home will expand the window to reveal images and lead-in story to five unique attributes. From here you can learn more about each attribute by clicking the Learn More button which will launch the Looking Closer pop-up feature. Clicking into the Looking Closer feature link from Level 2 pages will automatically launch the pop-up window. Profiles The Profile Module will appear on all Standard Level 2 pages and GPP Level 2 pages in the upper right-hand corner. The featured profile image and lead-in story will be changed on refresh or revisit of the page. The profiles are actual stories told about real students, alumni, faculty and staff and should reflect the Emmanuel experience. Timely Content (optional) There are several areas within the Emmanuel site that feature Timely Content areas. These flexible areas were developed to promote various communication needs that are not specifically news or events. Timely Content are short factoids or blurbs editable by the CMS and may include: admission due dates, student clubs and organizations, etc. Resources and See Also (optional) Links that fall under the heading “Resources” are task-oriented links that should relate specifically to the section/page content and live within the Emmanuel College site. “See Also” links should also relate to the section and content but can link outside of the Emmanuel site. These links are optional on all standard Levels 2-5. Research (optional) This is an optional module that may be used on Levels 2-5 and the Department home. The Contact module is for section/page related contact information. Career Paths (optional) This optional module is used in the Department and Areas of Study pages and links to the “What Can I do with my major?” page. Quote (optional) This module available to use on Standard Level 3 pages throughout the site and is intended to be used at the beginning of content and when there is no content image. This module is entirely graphic and not editable by the CMS.

s a mp l e p a g e s Home Page Example: Home

Additional Navigation

The home page is unique among all pages of the site. Individual content is variable but should be kept brief. Each content item on the page should be thought of as a “teaser”—you want to interest a user so they will click into the site. Attempting to provide too much information or too lengthy content on this page will overwhelm users. Use deeper pages of the site to

provide full details and information.

Home Page Branding Images The large main image is meant to convey the iconic images of Boston. The 2 images of the students to the right are meant to show the diversity of students at Emmanuel. The people images swap out upon page refresh or revisit, and new images must be created using the supplied PhotoShop file (see page 31 for instructions).

Looking Closer at Emmanuel Flash Feature Upon rollover, a menu is revealed that lists several breakout topics which link to more infromation via a pop-up window (see pages 9 and 29 for detailed descriptions of Looking Closer).

Graduate & Professional Program This area can be used to describe a new program, campus location, or upcoming informational meeting. Description can be no more than 12 words in length.
