Top Banner Images
Banner images are the large images located at the top of web pages. This is not to be confused with the Banner program a lot of teachers and students use on campus
Banner images should be cropped to a specific size before you upload them. If you don't, Drupal will try to resize it for you with very mixed results.
Banner images should be 1125 pixels by 280 pixels. 300 dpi looks best.

NOTE: If a banner image is added to your site home page, all other pages in your site are set to pull that image in. If you add more than one image to a page, the images automatically turn into a slide show and rotate. In order to keep your site mobile friendly, we suggest you limit your site to three or four banner images on a page.
UPLOADING:
To add an image to a page, you must first start by creating a new draft of the page. The banner section is located at the top of your new draft. The link to upload a new image is called Add new Media Asset. If you want to reuse a banner image that has already been uploaded, you can use the Add existing Media Asset button.
