Imagery principles


  • Ideally, images already possess a natural and apparent light source.
  • Images should have a distinctive edge or bleed off the page. Avoid blending or feathering images into the background.
  • If the image includes people, strive for one that shows their personality and individuality, through appearance, actions or wardrobe.
  • Images should be light, not dark.
  • Images should be grounded in reality and relatable to others, and not clip art.
  • Images with people should show individuals accomplishing tasks or using technology.
  • Avoid images where people are looking at the camera or seem posed. Try to find sincere and believable people.
  • Diversity and inclusion are important to our values, be sure to accurately represent the world and our global community.
