Image Requirements

The following requirements must be met in order for a headshot to be displayed on the WSB website.

Images must:

  • be full color and high resolution (at least 72ppi)
  • be jpg or png files
  • be at minimum 500 pixels (px) wide and 500px tall. The preferred image width is 1000px.
  • have ample space around the person's face so that MSC can crop the image as needed.
  • include the individual's first and last name in the file name

MSC reserves the right not to display images that do not meet our quality standards.

...

Advisory board headshots from wsb.wisc.edu were not moved to the new website (business.wisc.edu) in 2021 if they did not meet the image standards outlined above. Many of these images were black and white, low resolution, and too small to display on the new site. You will need to submit new headshots that meet our standards if you want images displayed on your advisory board page.

Gather and Submit your Images

  1. Request images from your board members.
  2. Gather and gather your images in a Google Drive folder, Box folder, or another cloud storage location that can be shared with the web team.
  3. Open a web ticket and share the link to your image folder along with a message explaining that you would like the images to be cropped and added to ____ the board members for (insert name of advisory board).
  4. The web team will review the images and let you know if any do not meet our quality standards. You can then reach back out to those board members to request new headshots that do meet our standards.
  5. The web team will crop the qualifying images into squares. We will add them to the website and send you a message in the ticket when this has been completed.
  6. You can continue to share replacement images in the same web ticket, or open a new ticket as when you begin to receive the images.
