FormAssembly Branding Guide 2018

Style
Photography is perhaps one
of the most important visual
elements.

Images should depict an


atmosphere of productivity and
stress-free work (unless the
content indicates otherwise).
Clean, happy, and productive
are examples of keywords that
should describe the image.

Use images that have colors


in them that compliment the
brand colors.

When taking or choosing


photos for a publication, try
to be aware of social issues
such as racial and gender
diversity. We have international
customers and want to cater
towards our broad audience.

Black &
White
Black and white photos should be crisp with
tasteful contrast. Use when the colored
image is too busy, contains the wrong colors
scheme, or you need a neutral colored image.

Crop
Make sure that whenever you are cropping
an image that it still makes sense when
viewed. Don’t crop out something important.
Photography FormAssembly Branding Guide 2018

Overlay Deep Blue (left) or Ocean


Blue (right) Overlay
Overlays should be used when
the color of an image needs to
be neutralized but black and
white doesn’t work. Overlay
effects should only be applied
to black and white images.
Overlay may also use gradient
mentioned in the color section.

See here examples of what kind


of overlays to work for logos
and text.

Note: A Photoshop action of Gradient Overlay


these effects have been made as
a preset and is available upon
request.

Blue
Use the Deep Blue, Ocean Blue
or the Blue Gradient overlay.
Blue overlays should be used
when surrounded by white
or when white text or logos
are used on top of the image.
Choosing which blue generally
depends on the tonal value of
the image. The aim is to keep a
neutral value.

Use the white overlay when the
full color logo needs to be used
