Resources
Here are the links to a trio of resources to produce University of Warwick branded plots, presentations and course websites, using R and Quarto.
warwickpres
This is a Quarto Revealjs presentation format that is consistent with The University of Warwick’s brand.
It offers the following:
- The University of Warwick logo on the title slide (pending)
- A theme consistent with the University of Warwick’s brand colours
- Arial font (the brand fonts of Neue Haas Grotesk is not available open-source, nor is the preferred substitute font of Aptos. Arial is the recommended substitute if neither of those are available)
- Colours consistent with the brand for quarto callouts
- A custom syntax highlighting theme consistent with the brand colours
- Additional convenience classes for sizing and aligning
warwickcourse
source template website full example website
This template is consistent with the University of Warwick’s brand, and makes it easy to make and publish websites for courses, workshops and similar.
What the template looks like as a website: warwick-stats-resources.github.io/warwickcourse
An example of the template used for a full course: warwick-stats-resources.github.io/r-foundations-2025/
The template has a home page ready to fill in key information about the course. It assumes that the course/workshop is delivered across several sessions, and that each session will have its own content page and its own set of slides (though can be simplified if only one content page/set of slides is required). The slides for each session are embedded in the content page for the session, and a link is supplied to read the slides in a new window.
For full documentation on how to use the template, see the GitHub repo’s README.
warwickplots
warwickplots has not yet been updated to the new University of Warwick brand.
An R package with colour palettes and a ggplot2 theme that are consistent with The University of Warwick’s branding, especially its colours and typography.
The palettes are built using the palettes package. The ggplot2 theme is heavily inspired by the work of Cara Thompson, particularly this talk on applying a unifying aesthetic to your plots.
