Posters

Help keep the campus clean and organized by posting flyers and posters only in designated areas, such as bulletin boards, existing acrylic signage holders, and display cases. Please avoid taping them on doors, windows, bathroom mirrors and stalls, building walls, or hallways, as this is prohibited. Posters placed in non-designated areas will be removed and discarded by Campus Maintenance. Refer to the Advertisements on Campus policy for more details. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Posters on Campus

BYU–Hawaii departments and organizations wishing to advertise events, campaigns, initiatives, etc. through tabloid-size (11" x 17") posters can design them and request permission to display them on existing bulletin boards and other spaces across campus from individual locations/departments.
Process and Guidelines
Detailed Instructions and Timeline
Design Guidelines

  • Plan out where on campus you'd like to display your posters. Keep in mind that each area on campus is managed by individual departments. If you’d like to hang your poster in their assigned spaces, you’ll need to ask permission from them before doing so. For courtesy, you should ask them before putting them up.

    Per the Advertisements on Campus Policy, "taping posters or flyers on non-designated locations, including but not limited to doors, windows, bathroom mirrors and stalls, building walls, and hallways, is prohibited. They must be posted in designated areas such as bulletin boards and display cases. Such posters will be removed by Campus Maintenance and discarded."

  • If you are managing the design of your poster, please make sure that it meets the design and brand guides, and print requirements.

    If you need help designing your poster, please submit a design request. A minimum of one week of design and revision is recommended.

  • Once you have your document ready, place an order at Print Services.

  • Departments are responsible for displaying posters in the designated spaces and removing the signs when the event has ended, or they no longer need to be on display. We recommend that posters be displayed several days to a week before the event date for effective publicity.

Design Guidelines

  • Dimensions: 11" x 17" (tabloid) or 8.5" x 11" (letter). If the design goes to the edge of the paper, include bleeds and crop marks.
  • If the content includes a "call to action" and it is to visit a website for more information, use a customized, shortened, and memorable link or a QR code.
  • Content and artwork should be in line with the messaging and values of BYU–Hawaii and the Honor Code.
  • Write out the dates with the day of the week, the month, and the number of the day without st, nd, rd, th, or the year (e.g., Wednesday, Oct. 10 or Wed, October 10). The year may be included only for annual events.
  • Times are spelled without periods, in lowercase letters, and space between the number and am/pm (e.g.,11 am – 12 pm).
  • Use the official department/organization and location titles. Refer to the Editorial Style Guide for these titles.
  • Include an official BYUH department logo (Refer to the university brand guides for additional help on logo usage and treatment).

Posters must comply with the BYUH brand guides and Advertisements on Campus Policy. Failure to do so will result in a written warning and the removal of the poster.
