Logos and design elements
Logos must be sized proportionally. Do not squeeze horizontally or vertically. For more information, visit wmich.edu/visualidentity/logos. Please contact Liz Haskin at (269) 387-6054 if you need a different color logo or different file types.
Photography
The Office of Alumni Relations and Marketing has a collection of high-quality photos taken by the University photographer for design needs. Please contact Samantha Hooker at (269) 387-6059 to request photos. Please also contact the office to schedule a photo shoot for upcoming press or promotional materials, or to borrow a camera to take photos at an event.
Video Production
The communications team can advise on video projects in terms of best practices, storyboarding and editing. Please contact us to meet about your video project, borrow a video camera or discuss video production services on campus.
Note: If you are using music in a video, you may want to consider using royalty-free music or purchasing stock music for your production. Use of many songs requires purchasing the rights to the music in order to share the work publically as a part of your video and may be cost prohibitive. Contact the communications team if you have questions about music use in video productions.
