Social Media Directory
Dakota State University’s Marketing and Communications Department consumes, produces, and shares social web content in a real-time environment while giving a human voice to the university. We advance and protect the image and reputation of the university and continuously create and strengthen relationships both internally and externally, to build a stronger and more prominent Trojan Nation.
Dakota State University is using many social media channels to communicate and build relationships with our faculty, staff, students, parents, fans, alumni, and friends.
Contact the DSU Marketing & Communications Department by email at digitalmarketing@dsu.edu to request social media avatars and cover photos.
For optimal resolution, social avatars and profile photos should be designed to 960 pixels square. The DSU Hex Icon should be 700 pixels wide and centered both horizontally and vertically.
This will yield a clean result regardless of whether the icon is to be used in a square or circle. These avatars can be used in a variety of combinations, using our primary colors with the DSU Hex Icon. As these graphics are often shown at small sizes, do not use any photography as a background (including jeweling), or add other logo elements. Doing so will have a detrimental impact on readability.
Use the spec below when designing cover photos for Facebook*. Doing so will ensure readability on both desktop and mobile. The full size should be 1230 pixels wide by 540 pixels tall, but the focus of your design should lie in the center section of 960 pixels wide by 468 pixels tall.
Facebook crops the cover photo differently for desktop than it does for mobile. On the desktop, the top and bottom 36 pixels are cropped out, but the outer 135 pixels on either side will be visible. Conversely, mobile crops out the outer 135 pixels, but shows the top and bottom 36 pixels.
For custom cover imagery, contact the DSU Marketing & Communications Department by email at marketing@dsu.edu.
