PHOTOSPhotos and images are powerful, emotional and effective tools for helping us express our brand and how Extension makes a difference in Minnesota. When using photos, always select images that are high-quality and look professional. Never use low-quality photos (i.e. low resolution that displays the photo poorly) or clip art.

PHOTO GUIDELINESUse the following photo guidelines when selecting photos to ensure that you are supporting Extension’s brand and photographic style:

Strong use of candid photography, where subjects are engaged in interaction or tasks at hand.

Perspective should primarily be “first person.” The goal is for the audience to feel like they’re sharing in that moment.

Use of natural light whenever possible.
