NC State University Brand Book
On July 1, the university rolled out the new North Carolina State University Brand Book.
The book contains standards, guidelines and templates that individuals across campus can use to present the university brand correctly in any form of communication, whether it occurs in print, online or in PowerPoint presentations. The standards established in the NC State Brand Book were developed with the broad involvement of the university community and were created to help bring consistency to the way we all communicate about NC State.
The expectation is not to adjust communications already produced. However, it is expected that during the next 18 months, everyone will work to comply with the standards set forth in the brand book, and to begin that process now with any new work.
Please visit http://www.ncsu.edu/brand to download a copy of the book and to find other resources such as PowerPoint templates and design examples.

The 2008 NSF / AAAS Visualization Challenge
Show us what you see: let us peer through your camera’s lens, stand over your drawing table, sit before your computer screen. Teach us what we don’t know: bend time and space, eliminate the noise, articulate the essential. This is your opportunity to create a science or engineering visualization that elegantly reveals and explains our world. This is your chance to achieve the recognition you and your team deserve. The 2008 International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge is co-sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the journal Science, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Awards categories include: Photographs/Pictures, Illustrations/Drawings, Informational/Explanatory Graphics, Interactive Media, and Non-Interactive Media. Winning entries will be published in a special section of the September 26, 2008 issue of the journal Science and Science Online and on NSF’s website.
