Showcase gallery

The gallery accepts up to 12 images and its purpose is to showcase a feature of the University. It is not intended as a way to post many images e.g. of graduation ceremonies or other events.

A good use case would be to showcase an accommodation block or campus attractions. For example here.

Each image accepts a thumbnail image that shows in a grid and a full size image that shows full screen.

This is very important to remember, that you have to add 2 images (thumbnail and large image) for the template to work correctly here:

Images can be of any dimension but we recommend making all thumbnails the same size as one another.

We recommend using an aspect ratio of 3:2 for the thumbnails. The below examples are 3:2 i.e. 408px by 272px (these are the thumbnail dimensions on a one column tablet layout).

There is a useful online ratio calculator at https://andrew.hedges.name/experiments/aspect_ratio.

Large images should be compressed and resized so that they load fast on mobile devices. We recommend using 960px by 640px dimensions for large images.
