Images on TNEW

Kari Swenson

Hi everyone!

We are taking this time to potentially spif up our TNEW site, and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share their site and how they are utilizing images.  I don't love how the images can't be formatted if we put them on the production season level, I think it highlights different sized images too much (my personal preference).

I'd love to see some examples of how you all are using images (and where) to get some ideas/ inspiration.

Thanks so much!

    Hi Kari,

    Here at NIDA we went live this morning with TNEW v7, utilising a Quickstart template and we're very pleased with the result - https://supporters.nida.edu.au. The most difficult decision was which image to use as the hero - it needs to have the rather curious size ratio of 12:1.

    As for production season images, we don't offer much ticketing outside our own in-house student productions but we have a general rule that any/all images should be 200x200 pixels. Our Marketing team easily crops/resizes images using Photoshop.

    The only exception for this is when we have to have a sponsor/parner logo displayed but that is done using the height and width elements in the URL. This can take a bit of trial and error to ensure the images (if there's more than one eg https://supporters.nida.edu.au/3132) are well sized and spaced relative to each other.

    Martin,

    Thank you for your help so far. I am going to have our graphic designer resize some production season images to see how 200 by 200 would look. Once the images are resized how would I grab the URL so I can insert that into the Tnew admin? Would the resized photos need to be added to our marketing site (rpo.org) first?

    Hi Dan,

    We chose 200x200 because we like the production images to be square and consistent. 200x200 is also easy to remember and delievers a reasonable resolution.

    Your images need to be stored on the web - your RPO site would be the most sensible - where they're able to be viewed publicly (ie without having to log in to your site) and must have an https:// URL or they won't display.

    Hope this helps!
