Visual Guidelines

Do's

  • Use high-quality lifestyle imagery
  • Showcase the product in use
  • Focus on brand storytelling
  • Keep main subject in the center (safe zone)

Don'ts

  • Do not include pricing or promotion timeframes
  • Avoid embedding small text in the image (use text overlay features instead)
  • Do not use plain white background product shots (boring for banners)

Best Practices

  • 1
    Emotional Connection: Use this space for a high-quality lifestyle shot that shows the 'feeling' of using your product.
  • 2
    Less is More: Avoid clutter. A single, powerful image works better than a collage in this specific module.
  • 3
    Mobile Optimization: Remember that this image will scale down on mobile devices. Ensure the focal point is clear even at small sizes.
  • 4
    Brand Consistency: Ensure colors and fonts (if any) match your overall brand guidelines.

Common Issues

Image looks pixelated

Ensure you are uploading a specific 970x600px image at 72dpi or higher. Do not upscale smaller images.

Text in image is hard to read

Avoid baking text into the image if possible. If you must, use very large fonts. Better to use the module's text capability for SEO and readability.
