Publications and Web Office
The Publications and Web Office promotes the work and activities of the collegiate University through a range of creative services for print and web communications. Whatever the format, print and web communications provide you with an opportunity to increase awareness of and generate support for the University. From planning and photography through to design and distribution, the Publications and Web Office is here to offer help and advice on all aspects of production.
We are responsible for producing the University’s key print materials, including the Gazette, Blueprint and the University Calendar, the Undergraduate and Graduate Prospectuses, as well as the University’s alumni magazine, Oxford Today. Most of these are also available online, but if you would like paper copies please contact the office.
Web
The Web team is responsible for all aspects of the main public-facing website, www.ox.ac.uk, the most-visited university website in the UK. The team maintains content and offers web expertise and training to several offices within University Administration and Services including Admissions. Working as part of the web team, the Online Media Producer makes a wide range of video and animation material for the University website, as well as iTunes U and YouTube.
Toolkit
The Publications and Web Office has created a toolkit to help and advise staff on how to use the University’s brand mark. The toolkit allows you to download graphics and templates, and gives advice on usage of the brand.
The toolkit also offers a range of useful information including a style guide (currently being updated), information on design and photography and a checklist for print production. We are continually increasing the information on this site, so it is useful to check for updates. Also, if there are items you would like us to add, please contact us.
Advertising
We offer a number of advertising opportunities, both classified and display, in Blueprint and the Gazette as well as in Oxford Today.
Design and print-buying
The Design Studio, based in the Publications & Web Office, provides a professional design and print-buying service for members of the collegiate University. Whether it is a poster, leaflet, newsletter or brochure, we aim to deliver a creative, clear and cost-effective solution to your communication requirements.
Image Library
University of Oxford Images is an online image library that provides easy access to more than 1,500 images of the collegiate University. Images are available to departments and colleges at a heavily discounted rate compared to commercial providers. The new service provides a significant advance in ease and speed of use, and the library will be updated with new images on a regular basis.
A selection of images is available to download free of charge from the Image Bank for members of the University for use in publications and on the web.
