Find images via Imagestore

Imagestore is UCL’s central repository for UCL imagery, templates and brand resources. UCL faculties and departments can request their own archive to share and store their content. Contact the team for further information.

Stream video via Mediacentral 

Mediacentral is UCL’s video portal, helping users to stream their media to enhance their online presence, in their learning, teaching and research. The use of video greatly helps to improve communications, enhances training, enables greater collaboration and can augment UCL’s marketing activities.

Merchandise

The Hanger, run by Students’ Union UCL, is the University’s exclusive provider of branded merchandise (retail and non-retail).  

Commissioning design

Whether you are working with an internal design team or commissioning external designers, they will need a clear and concise brief to deliver what you need. 

Use the UCL creative brief (docx) on Imagestore to explain as much as possible about what the purpose of your brief is. 

Spending time on writing the brief also helps you clarify what the aim of the project is and why you are doing it. They will also need to understand the scope of the work to provide you with an estimated cost.
