University Editorial Style Guide
As a service to the University community, the Creative Services department has created the Clemson University Editorial Style Guide, a nonacademic, in-house reference source that includes entries related specifically to Clemson University publications and websites.
Communications Toolbox
Clemson User ID required. The brand portfolio, messages, logo inventory and templates offered in the Communications Toolbox were developed after in-depth research and testing with key constituents, including graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors, prospective students and parents.
Web Guidelines Forum
The Clemson Web guidelines explained in the forum have been established to assist University webmasters in making informed decisions based on standards for optimal visitor experiences and Section 508 accessibility compliance. A compilation of best practices is being developed to assist webmasters in best reaching their target audiences. These practices reflect central themes that are important when preparing Clemson websites, including: clarity of purpose, access for all visitors, ease of use and consistent branding.

Creative Services is charged with oversight responsibilities in maintaining legal compliance for all Clemson University websites. -
