Image Guidelines
Need a photo? The Marketing Communications department (x4390, pccpubs@pcc.edu) has a collection of professionally taken photographs of the campuses and students available for college publications including websites.
- Types
- Images to be displayed on the website should be saved in .jpg or .gif format.
- Size
- Your images will automatically be resized by Contribute if they are too large for the PCC web team standards.
- Alternate Text
- All images must have a text equivalent which can be read by screen readers for visually impaired viewers. Alt text should be brief but descriptive.
Image Alignment Styles
In order to properly align your images, you should not simply apply a left, center, or right alignment as you might expect. Instead, you will need to employ a style on your images. There are three styles that can be applied to images to control the alignment. In order to apply them, select the image after you have inserted it into your site, then click the Format menu, go to Style, then choose the appropriate img style from the sub-menu. The available styles are as follows:
- imgleft: Floats the image left and pads it from the surrounding text. A 1-pixel black border is also applied.
- imgright: Floats the image right and pads it from the surrounding text. A 1-pixel black border is also applied.
- imgcenter: Places the image in the center, pushing text above and below. A 1-pixel black border is also applied.
Image Editing
Contribute gives you the ability to perform basic editing on your images from within the Contribute program. For information on how to do this, see the Inline Image Editing article on Adobe's website.
