This section is where you can set the masthead image in your exhibit’s header, an exhibit thumbnail (for display on the main exhibits index) and set what items you would like to appear in your exhibit’s main menu.
Exhibit masthead (or banner image)
Exhibit mastheads appear at the top of each of your exhibit's pages. By default, your title and optional subtitle appear over a black background, but you can change this black background to a background image of your choosing:
- Log in and go to your Exhibit Dashboard
- Select Appearance from lefthand navigation
- Click "Show background image in masthead"
- Select either an image that you've already uploaded as an exhibit item ("From this exhibit") or "Upload an image".
To reduce blur, use an image (jpg, jpeg, png) at least 180 pixels tall and 1800 pixels wide.
Because the masthead image needs to display on any device size, it is preferred to use a patterned background rather than one that needs to be exactly positioned, e.g. an image with text or a photo of a person.
