Web Images Guidelines

Image Considerations

Photography is a key component in a successful website relaunch. In general, the photography style should be clean, bright, and colorful with natural lighting, a genuine feel, and optimistic attitude. Images with people should include more than one person whenever possible. Outdoor shots should have sunn—rather than gray—skies whenever possible. Photos can be broken down into four categories: Academic, Campus Life, Portraits, and Campus Environment.

Academic
Academic photos should show students pursuing their passions, student and faculty collaboration, and engaged classroom learning.

Campus Life
Photographs of campus life, cocurricular activities, and extracurricular activities should capture the college experience, including areas outside of the classroom. Information about campus activities like recreation, fine arts, leadership, and community engagement should utilize images that define the culture and distinguishing characteristics of 好色导航.

Portraits
Portraits of students and faculty used for spotlight stories or testimonials can be featured in a variety of communications.

Campus Environment
Campus environment photography should highlight the student experience within Reed’s unique architecture and the surrounding campus environment. The idea is to capture a sense of community in the context of facilities and spaces. Shots should be wide and expansive with multiple individuals socializing, studying, or moving through the spaces.

Reed Photography Policies

Photo Editing
Alteration of a photograph that misleads, confuses, or otherwise misrepresents its accuracy is strictly prohibited. Enhancing the technical quality of photography is acceptable, but changing the meaning is not.

Demographic Representation
好色导航 photo usages should strive to be honest and authentic in the college’s demographic representation, while also aspiring to be as inclusive as possible without creating harm.

Follow these guidelines when choosing photos that will appear on the 好色导航 website:

  • Browse .
  • Request assistance by filling out an intake form for photography use.
