The color strategy for the new brand is to extend the palette beyond the primary orange, purple and white to include secondary colors. The inspiration for these colors is drawn from the natural beauty of the campus — the blue-gray waters of Hartwell Lake, the pale yellow of sunrise over Tillman Hall, and the rich green and brown of the forests and fields that surround the campus.

These secondary colors provide a depth to the brand that will allow more variety and versatility in the development of marketing media while maintaining a coordinated, integrated look.

Have you ever wanted to add some colorful elements to your web page text? Sure, you can just change the text color but what if you want to take it up a notch and really make your text stand out? Panels and borders can be used to draw attention to special or important content. Simply add the class panel or border to your element, or to a div wrapped around many elements. Customize by also adding a brand color.

Use spotlights to feature a bit of content on your page. The most comprehensive version includes both a link to a specific story (or event, program, etc.) as well as a link to the overall category or collection of stories (or events, programs, etc.). You can pare this down to feature just a single link or to work as a caption for a photo. All three versions are included below.

Note: choose any of the brand colors to customize a spotlight’s appearance.

Our template uses a 16-column version of the Foundation framework. More information on the Foundation grid can be found on Zurb’s website.

Start by adding a div element with a class of row. This will create a horizontal block to contain vertical columns. Then add divs with a columns class within that row. Specify the widths of each column with the small-#, medium-#, and large-# classes, with # ranging from 1-16.

The template is mobile-first, so larger screens will inherit small styles, but not the other way around. For example, a column with the class small-3 will still occupy 3 columns at the large screen size, even if the column had no additional classes. On the other hand, if a column has only a large-3 class, the element will expand to the full width of the row at smaller screen sizes, instead of occupying 3 columns. See the examples below for reference.

HTML

<div class="row">
    <div class="large-8 columns">...</div>
    <div class="large-8 columns">...</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
    <div class="large-8 small-12 columns">...</div>
    <div class="large-8 small-4 columns">...</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
    <div class="large-10 medium-6 small-5 columns">...</div>
    <div class="large-3 medium-4 small-5 columns">...</div>
    <div class="large-3 medium-6 small-6 columns">...</div>
</div>

Advanced Use

Grids can be nested indefinitely by simply including a new row inside an existing column. Nested columns will use the width of their parent column as their maximum-possible width.

HTML

<div class="row">
    <div class="small-12 columns">12
        <div class="row">
            <div class="small-12 columns">12 Nested
                <div class="row">
                    <div class="small-12 columns">12 Nested Again</div>
                    <div class="small-4 columns">4</div>
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="small-4 columns">4</div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="small-4 columns">4</div>
</div>

See examples and learn more at Style Guide/Grid.

Adding an Icon

In addition to the styling above, you can also pair your link with an icon to make your button more visual. See the full set of available icons and learn more about how to use them.

<a href="" class="button expand blueridge">
    <span class="icon-paw"></span>
    Expanded Button
</a>
<a href="" class="button bowman">
    <span class="icon-paw"></span>
    Regular Button
</a>

Draw attention to a link by adding the class button.

<a href="" class="button">A button</a>

Styling

There are a few classes available to modify the appearance of your button.

• expand – Makes the button stretch to the width of its container
• radius – Gives the button rounded corners
• color – Choose from any of the brand colors to customize the button

HTML

<a href="" class="button expand">This button is expanded</a>
<a href="" class="button radius">This button has rounded edges</a></p>
<a href="" class="button bowman">This is a bowman field button</a></p>
<a href="" class="button blueridge radius">This button is blue ridge and has rounded edges</a></p>

For more information see, Style Guide/Buttons.

Use the class small-block-grid-# on an unordered list to make a simple grid with # items in each row.

HTML

<ul class="small-block-grid-3">
    <li><!--Your content goes here--></li>
    <li><!--Your content goes here--></li>
    <li><!--Your content goes here--></li>
    <li><!--Your content goes here--></li>
    <li><!--Your content goes here--></li>
    <li><!--Your content goes here--></li>
</ul>

Advanced Use

Add size-specific classes to control how many items show on each row at different screen sizes. Sizes include: small-block-grid-#, medium-block-grid-# and large-block-grid-#

HTML

<ul class="large-block-grid-6 medium-block-grid-3 small-block-grid-2">
    <li><!--Your content goes here--></li>
    <li><!--Your content goes here--></li>
