MAINTAINING A CONSISTENT BRANDED APPROACH:
BROCHURE IMAGERY AND CONTENTS
PATHFINDERJUKEALTIMA 370Z
BROCHURE COVER IMAGERYOur approach to cover background photograph.Background location scenes provide subtle context for vehicle positioning and character.
Locations, whether natural or architectural, are real, but not ordinary.
They are inherently graphic and strongly monochromatic (black or white), and have a visual distinction that feels “designed” while still being simple enough to ensure the vehicle is always the hero.
The background image detail vignettes to white or black, holding only subtle detail at the outer edges, and across the back cover.
The most detail and contrast should be restricted to the foreground areas.
4.5 • BROCHURES • April, 2016 11
Brochure covers must use a white or black background and primary red tablet for consistency and impact.
Vehicle color on covers must follow Body Color Usage rules. See section 3.3 Body Color Usage for more information.

These backgrounds feature subtle monochromatic
tones and simple graphic shapes. The areas of most contrast are found within,
and around, the vehicle. The outer edges use a
vignette, to bring added focus to the vehicle.

SUSTAINING YEAR IMAGERY OPTIONSUpdating covers in sustaining years.A background can shift from overall white tone to black tone, allowing differentiation without having to create an all-new background image.
The vehicle color can also shift from year to year, but the Body Color Usage rules must be followed.
The backgrounds can be “reversed”, but care must
be taken to ensure that the tones are subtle, and
reflect the overall back-ground feel of “black” or
“white”. The lighting on the vehicle may need to be
adjusted slightly in order to support the separation
from the background.

Lean in to your favorite curve as sleek aerodynamics let you slice through the air. And after a pulse-raising ride, just as quickly return to swift, effortless motion.

POSITIONING SPREADSA unique typographic device that reflects the “Customer Promise”.This bold type treatment gives more weight to the introduction, and it is not a typical copy block.
It acts as a rallying cry, a “mantra” for the vehicle and its target buyer.
Copy uses an active, experiential tone to support “Innovation that excites”, and is focused on higher-level positioning, less on features.
The Nissan Brand font, in Red caps, begins and ends the introductory state-ment. These “bookends” should reflect the meaning of the Global or Regional “Customer Promise”.
Lowered, sculpted, and streamlined, Maxima® achieves a sweeping aerodynamic profile. However, watch the light as it traces a path around a curvaceous fender and it’s clear – it’s not just about cheating the wind, it’s about a love of form. In fact, the engineers and designers created a unique metal-stamping technique, just so they could add such a seductive curve to Maxima®’s deeply scalloped doors.

SCANNABLE CONTENT DEVICEClearer and cleaner presentation for feature-heavy spreads.This typographic treatment is preferred to express a more emotional but more concise story, while still highlighting multiple features at a glance.
This approach activates the imagery without having to clutter the page with details, or weigh it down with long copy blocks.

INNOVATION THAT LOOKS OUT FOR YOU.
MONITORSmart technologies are designed to help monitor conditions — like a warning to let you know when a vehicle is in the blind spot area, or a system that helps ensure you’re travelling on properly inflated tires.
Available Features:
Driver Attention Alert (DAA)Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW)Forward Emergency Braking (FEB)Blind Spot Warning (BSW)Rear Cross Traffic AlertAround View Monitor
RECOVER Whether you need to hit the brakes hard or manoeuvre around an unexpected obstacle, these standard technologies help you respond to a potentially harmful situation.
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) helps you maintain your steered path. Traction Control System (TCS) helps reduce wheelspin in low-traction situations.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps you maintain steering control around obstacles while braking heavily.
Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) sends extra force to the rear brakes when you have additional weight of passengers or cargo in the back.

What if parallel parking was easier? A rearview camera is great when backing up – but when it comes to parking, it’s nice to see more than just what’s directly behind you. That’s why Murano’s Around View Monitor uses four cameras that give you a virtual 360º bird’s-eye view of your vehicle, with selectable split-screen close-ups of the front, rear, and curbside views, so you can get a better look. And since all obstacles aren’t stationary (shopping carts, we’re talking to you), Moving Object Detection helps keep an eye around your Murano, and can warn you about moving objects detected in your vicinity.

NISSAN SAFETY SHIELD TECHNOLOGIES
Predictive Forward Collision Warning. In traffic, it only takes a moment to get caught off guard in a potentially dangerous situation. How about a little help? With this technology, a radar sensor on the front of Murano constantly monitors not just one vehicle ahead in your lane, but two. When the system detects sudden deceleration, it gives you an audible warning and a visual signal on the instrument panel. So you get a heads up, even if you can’t see what’s slowing you down.
Forward Emergency Braking. Using radar technology to keep an eye on your speed and proximity to vehicles ahead of you, Forward Emergency Braking gives you audible and visual display warnings to help you know when to reduce your speed, if necessary. It can also apply braking to help you avoid a collision. If a collision is unavoidable, this feature will automatically engage the brakes to help reduce speed of impact and reduce the severity of a collision.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert. When you’re backing out of a parking space, this avail-able feature watches the area around the rear of your Murano, and can warn you about vehicles you might not see behind you approaching from either side. So backing up feels easier than ever.
Moving Object Detection. When the Around View Monitor is in use and detects moving objects near the vehicle, it gives a visual and audible alert.
RearView and Around View Monitors. When you’re in Reverse, the RearView Monitor shows what’s directly behind you and helps make backing up and parking easier. And the Around View Monitor uses four cameras to give you a virtual 360º bird’s-eye view of your vehicle, with selectable split-screen close-ups of the front, rear, and curbside views, so you can see where you’re going without second-guessing.
Blind Spot Warning. If another vehicle is detected in the blind spot area, an indicator appears in the driver’s or front passenger’s door pillar and on the Advanced Drive- Assist Display. Then, if you put your turn signal on, the indicator flashes with a warning chime.
GET AWAY WITH JUST A WARNING.What if extra reassurance was easy to spot? Whether you’re changing lanes on the highway or deftly manoeuvring your way into a parking spot, Murano’s available Safety Shield Technologies offer you a safety suite of advanced systems that help you keep an eye out all around you, watch the flow of traffic and think ahead, so you’re prepared to respond.

CRAFTING OUR PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHYInside the book, our imagery has a distinct Nissan palette and flow.All photography should reflect graphic simplicity (both static and action, studio and location).
Product images with limited “natural color” backgrounds can be used, but should be “designed” with a primary singular hue and dramatic composition.
Bold use of the brand colors should be designed into key imagery and graphics, punctuating the flow of the pagination.
Product shots with highly complex, multicolored backgrounds do not reflect our brand look & feel and should be avoided.
Humanity can provide context and a Nissan wink to supporting imagery, but must be purposeful, reflect authenticity, and never feel clichéd.
4.5 • BROCHURES • April, 2016 24
COLLATERAL IMAGERY – HERO SHOTSBackgrounds for collateral should reflect the positioning, character, or the story we are trying to tell – providing subtle context. Our backgrounds should never feature a slice of life, but rather allow our vehicles to appear heroic and exciting. Natural color can be used for all image backgrounds, except for covers.
Our shots have graphic simplicity and boldness; lighting feels authentic, allowing shadow, depth-of-field and reflections to contribute to the emotion of the image.
We use a more “monochromatic” background palette. This does not mean an absence of color, but each background should have a “primary” color tonality.
Graphic and dynamic angles, perspectives and lensing, enhance the experiential character and bring out the personality of the vehicle and the brand.
4.5 • BROCHURES • April, 2016 25
COLLATERAL IMAGERY – DETAILS & HUMANITYOur collateral palette must consider flow and pacing of the presentation. We must design with the right mix of exterior and interior images, vehicle colors, action shots, static shots, premium details, cross-branded stories, and use of humanity. Use the Nissan wink whenever possible to enhance an image.
Interiors should be cleanly lit, with directional lighting. The view through the windows should be simple and clean, but can offer limited contextual environment. Use of humanity should be purposeful and secondary – used to demonstrate product capability and excitement. Props are also very effective at projecting lifestyle without featuring humanity. Lifestyle “page-warmers” can also be used, sparingly, but should be designed simply and graphically.

COLLATERAL IMAGERY DON’TS:Do not use complex and busy environments, or full range of coloration within any Nissan major imagery.
Do not use studio lighting in a location (day) setting, or unnaturally retouch when presenting our products. Flat lighting is also not appropriate.
Do not use people in inauthentic poses, or feature them in a way that distracts from the product.
Do not portray our products in slice-of-life situations.
Do not distort our products through ultra-wide lensing.
Background is too complex.
Perspective and lighting do not fit the scene (looks stripped with studio lighting on location).
People distract from the vehicle and are posed in inauthentic way.
Lighting on sheet metal is too flat (looks dull). Lensing makes the vehicle too distorted.
Perspective and lighting do not fit the scene (looks stripped with studio lighting on location).
