The Law School’s Marketing and Communications Office manages the digital displays throughout the Law School.
How to Make and Submit
Student organizations, Law School offices, and UT units may submit a request to display a digital poster that promotes deadlines, events, important dates, and information relevant to Texas Law students. Submitted posters are reviewed for clarity, purpose, appropriateness, and timeliness.
Accepted digital posters are displayed in rotation on the hallway displays.

Required: Event posters must include the event title and the sponsoring organization’s name and/or logo.
Prohibited: Do not promote alcoholic beverages in images or text.
Guidelines: Keep content to a minimum, as a poster is meant to be quick and to the point and read in 15 seconds. Include only the basics: the who, what, when, and where. Please include the date, time, registration information (if, and call-to-action link (if applicable).
1) Call-to-Action Links
- Please include a URL, even if the poster has a QR code. If your URL is long, you can shorten it with an online tool like tiny.cc, bit.ly or tiny.url.
- Tip: Leave off the https:// as well as any trailing /. Example: instead of “https://law.utexas.edu/” use “law.utexas.edu“
- Please TEST YOUR LINK and your QR Code before submitting your poster.
2) Fonts/Typefaces – limit fonts and colors to two or three each.
3) Backgrounds – to assist with readability, simplify background graphics and choose background colors that contrast with your text.
4) Margins / Clear Space – keep text away from the edges.
5) Texas Law Branding – Make sure that Texas Law-branded marks follow these branding guidelines.
