Canva Template Guidelines for Advertising

To ensure proper formatting and compatibility across campus platforms:

  • Stall Stories: Use the Instagram Square template in Canva.
    This format works best for Stall Stories and can be resized by the Student Affairs team for digital signage if needed.

Using the correct template ensures your ad looks its best and reaches the campus community effectively.

Design Tips & Requirements

Follow these design guidelines to create clear, engaging, and effective ads:

✅ Use bold colors to help your ad stand out.
✅ Include photographs or visuals—they attract attention.
✅ Always include event details (time, date, and location).

  • Dates must include the day of the week and follow this format:
    Tuesday, June 9

  • Times should follow this format:
    12:00 p.m.
    ✅ Make sure important information is easy to read at a glance.

Club Branding Requirement

All ads must include your club’s logo to show sponsorship of the event.
This applies to Stall Stories, digital signage, and flyers.

Including your logo:

  • Gives your club recognition

  • Helps students identify who’s hosting the event

  • Maintains consistency in campus advertising

Make sure your logo is clear, properly sized, and doesn’t block key event details.

Final Review & Edits

The Office of Student Affairs & Engagement reserves the right to make adjustments to ensure quality, clarity, and accessibility.

This may include edits to layout, text size, color contrast, or formatting to meet campus standards.

Submitting your ad early allows time for review and revisions.
