Graphics Guidelines

When you or your guest submit graphics, please review our Graphics Guidelines. Graphics include photos, illustrations, videos and audio.

These are our ThinkTech Guidelines for submission of Graphics on our talk shows:

1.  You may submit up to 15 graphics – in ONE transmittal, if possible. Each slide/page counts as 1 graphic. 

 

2.  Images should be in medium (not high) resolution in size, and in jpg or png format, or as PowerPoint slides, but NOT pdf. Avoid graphics with small images or lots of text (they can’t be easily seen by viewers).We suggest following the 5×5 rule – no more than a title and 5 bullet points per slide, with at most 5 words for the title and each bullet point.

3.  Video clips should be in mp4 or mov format, each preferably less than one (1) GB in size. Audio clips should be in mp3, mp4 or wav format. Both should be no longer than three (3) minutes in length.

4.  Name the graphics with (a) a number for the order you want them shown, and (b) descriptive words that you will use to call for them during the show.

5.  Only submit graphics if you created them yourself, if they are clearly in the public domain, or if you have the rights and authority to give ThinkTech permission to use and perform them on your show. We therefore ask that you submit the following permission Form for all such material, excepting only host and guest book covers, album covers, DVD covers, movie posters, headshots, websites and logos.
