Processing Images

Images are processed by a graphic designer and stored in an image folder in your respective site. Once they are on your site, you can import the image from the image folder into the pages you need.

To process images:

• Send an e-mail to Derek Annan  at dka115@psu.edu. In this e-mail, include
  • the image as an attachment OR
  • The URL (web address) where the image is located on the College Gallery, the College flickr site, or elsewhere on the Web (You must have permission to use an image from another place on the Web.)
  • A caption for the image (if necessary)
  • the URL (Web address) for the folder on your site where you want to house the image.
  • A text title of the image that will be used as the alternative description of the image for accessibility purposes
• If an image folder does not exist, then create one, exclude it from the navigation, and submit it.
• Suzanne or the graphic designer will let you know when the image has been added.
