How to Build Your Commencement Exhibition Page

Curating Your Page

We know it is important to many of you that you can provide direction as to how your page will be laid out in the online exhibition. This platform allows for the ability to display your documented work in many different ways. 

If you would like to provide input on your page design, we ask you to submit a sketch, a document with written guidance or any similar attachment to help us understand what you have in mind for your page in terms of layout and content hierarchy. We will do our best to work with you to accommodate your ideas within the confines of the platform. The example below illustrates a basic, handwritten sketch. Include as much detail as you'd like. 

The website has a number of different layout options that can be combined in numerous different ways. Some of the layout options include:

  • One standalone large piece of content 

  • Two halves

  • One thirds

  • Two images side by side, one third and two third, with the ability to choose which image is the smaller image and which is the larger

  • Four quarters

See some real life examples of how some of these layouts have been used in previous online exhibitions, including last year’s commencement exhibition.

If you would like to look through the last two year’s commencement exhibitions, which were built on this platform, you can view the 2021 Show here, and the 2020 Show here. You can also look at two smaller online exhibitions that were created previously, one for the Mount Royal School of Art and one for the Rinehart School of Sculpture.
