Recommended Aspect Ratios for Progress Reports/Goals

Standard vs Advanced Templates

Standard Example

Advanced Example

Advanced Recommendation:

The images shown for each activation is added on the Settings tab of each activation.

This option needs to be enabled for activation images to appear in progress reports in Advanced mode.

Recommendation: A 16:9, 640x360 image of each activation/waypoint.

Banner

A square (1:1, 600x600) transparent image is recommended, such as a golden

cup or a mascott.

Known Issue: when editing a zone, the background color of a banner will be black, make sure to click the little 'x' icons to before saving. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Background

For background, 2 choices are available:

1- Background Image (Available only on the Advanced Template).

Recommendation: since attendees will most likely have multiple device types (some people will have phones and some people will have tablets), the following recommendation is a One-Size-Fits-All solution.

• Background Fit: Cover

• Image Resolution: 2560x1440 (16:9 aspect ratio)

• If the background image has a shape/symbol, it's best to keep it in the middle of the image.

  These settings ensure that he background will fit the most common monitor aspect ratios, the resolution is high enough that the image will not appear pixelated, even on a big monitor (as long as the image quality is high), and that the background will not get distorted by stretching/getting squished, instead, it will be cropped towards the middle to match different aspect ratios, keeping the shape/symbol shown on all screens.

2- Gradient Colors

A much simpler approach. Just select colors that fit your theme!
