Overview

Photography should support the designers who use Flowit Supply. Images should look clear, practical and precise, suited to people who build websites. Choose or shoot images that help a designer picture the work.

Principles

Three qualities make a photograph fit Flowit Supply. Check each new image against all three before it is used.

01
Clear light

Use even, natural daylight where possible. Avoid harsh flash and strong color casts.

02
Real work

Show designers at their desks or screens, doing actual design work. Nothing posed for the camera.

03
Room to breathe

Keep one clear subject with open space around it, so headlines and the logo have room to sit.

Treatment

These settings keep photographs from different shoots looking like one set. Apply them to every image.
