Editing an Existing Kiosk
Follow the steps below to request an update to your existing kiosk.
1. Contact the vExpo team
Contact the vExpo team via the Tech Lab’s generic mailbox to request the latest version of your kiosk’s Content Submission Form and design source files, as required.
Generic mailbox: techlab-labtech@csps-efpc.gc.ca techlab-labtech@csps-efpc.gc.ca
2. Update the Kiosk Content Submission Form
Make the required changes to the form using tracked changes or colored highlights to identify all required changes to the content.
3. Update your kiosk designs, as required
As per the vExpo roles and responsibilities, kiosk owners are responsible for designing and updating their kiosk visuals and providing the vExpo team with the final design files for integration. Using the design source files, make the required modifications to your kiosk designs.
- Using Adobe Experience Designer (Adobe XD), open the kiosk source file (typically it should be named K####_Source.XD, where the #### corresponds to the kiosk ID).
- If you don't have access to Adobe XD, the vExpo team can export the individual kiosk panels into SVG and you can make use of other design software to make your updates (i.e. Inkscape or Figma ). Note that your department’s Communications and Marketing team will most likely be able to work with .XD files.
Images specifications and a design guide are available to help you with making updates to your design.
- Kiosk image specifications
- Guide: Creating your Final Kiosk Design – to help you create the final high resolution images for your 3D kiosk.
Note: We recommend working with your Communications, Marketing and Multimedia team to develop/update the final kiosk design. If you decide to take this on yourself, we strongly recommend obtaining Communications approval prior to submitting the final designs.
4. Export your kiosk image files
Once your kiosk designs are finalized in both official languages, export each individual kiosk panel as .png files. These will be used to create the 3D version of the kiosk.
For a 3 panel kiosk, you should have a total of 8 panels (4 panels per language): left, central, right, and title.
Name each image file using the following naming convention:
- English right panel: Kxxxxxx_EnCA_Right
- French right panel: Kxxxxxx_FrCA_Right
- English centre panel: Kxxxxxx_EnCA_Centre
- French centre panel: Kxxxxxx_FrCA_Centre
- English centre title panel: Kxxxxxx_EnCA_CentreTitle
- French centre title panel: Kxxxxxx_FrCA_CentreTitle
- English left panel: Kxxxxxx_EnCA_Left
- French left panel: Kxxxxxx_FrCA_Left
5. Submit your files
Send your kiosk Content Submission Form (from step 1) with related image files for description card icons and final kiosk design files (from step 2) to the Tech Lab’s generic mailbox: techlab-labtech@csps-efpc.gc.ca techlab-labtech@csps-efpc.gc.ca
