College of Design Communications Guide
This website is an internal resource for the College of Design communications staff, faculty, and student assistants to use while working on digital assets. Looking for advice about writing, guidance for webpage layout, or ways to contribute to our College's visibility? You've come to the right place!
We Welcome All Contributions to the College of Design Story!
Attention all faculty, researchers, students, and staff of the College of Design:
We Want YOUR STORY
For Our Digital Footprint
The Communication Team's mission is to tell the world who we are at the College of Design, what we do, and why we do it.
That's why we are fully committed to a universal system of storygathering. Every research accomplishment, every creative practice, every studio or class project, and every public event in the College of Design is worth reporting. But to do it, we need your help. Use the forms below to submit your story to the Communications Team. As long as your proposal does not contradict the Institute's interest or reasonable editorial judgment, we'll write an article, build a photo essay, or film a news segment about it!
Once we publish the content we will then promote it on our websites and social media accounts.
College of Design CMS
Use our Modules style guide to lay out web pages and build the components for media-rich feature articles. Avoid awkward breaks or stretched modules by paying special attention to the crop sizes for images and character counts.
Need help adding tables to our modules? Special instructions are on the Tables & HTML page.
Content is King: Writing Standards and Resources
Writing for digital is a craft that combines information design with narrative art form. It's incredibly creative, but it is bound by rules of great consequence. At Georgia Tech we follow an Institute writing style guide largely derived from AP. The College aligns its writing standards with that of the Institute and its narrative strategy with our strategic plan's visibility goals and the Institute's strategic plan. The pages linked below will help your writing meet these standards.
