Detailed standards
Hero Photos, Jumbotron Photos, Traditional Card Photos, Horizontal Card Photos, Spotlight Card Photos, Featured Image Photos, and other large photos
...
A note on hero photos: the main content of the photo should be vertically centered in the photo because at large screens (when the photo gets really wide), we crop the height of the photo so it doesn't take up tons of vertical space. So if you're photo has people in it, make sure their heads are vertically centered.
News Hero
When supplying an image for the full-width hero at the top of the News page, the image MUST be at least 2400px wide. The image height can vary, but we recommend somewhere between 1300px and 1600px tall.

Headshots (default hero layout)
These are styled into a circle via CSS, so the uploaded photo must be a square. The square should be 512 x 512px.
...
a minimum of 300px by 300px.
Portrait photos (alternative hero layout - first used with T2L3 faculty)
- Size: 2400x1700px
- Format: Png file with subject and background cutout
- Light gradient aura was added to the background of T2L3 faculty images
- Placement
- Subject’s face should be near the top because the bottom of the image gets cropped at various screen sizes
- Subject should be centered on the horizontal axis (e.g. for T2L3 faculty, the best images have yellow background on both sides of the subject, like Aziza)
- No gray background gradient needed; this is added with code
Stylized Cutout Headshots
The gray-background stylized headshot should be 512px in width, height can vary.
Logos
Company logos (for employment/career sections) should be 512px in width. (Height varies because different companies have different logoslogo dimensions.)
(Note: 512px was chosen because it is the WordPress "medium" image size.)
