Richard Wilson: the mixed photographs on a team page
Richard's talk about presentation included a small, visible example: a team page with photographs taken in different styles. He described both the mismatches and a way to make the page more consistent.
The differences were easy to identify
He mentioned a mix of color and black-and-white pictures, different backgrounds and an image cropped from a social occasion. He also described fuzzy photographs. These were concrete things a reviewer could see on the page.
A shared background did not require one location
Richard said team members in different cities could still have photographs redone with a white background. The example gave the team a common visual treatment while allowing people to be photographed separately.
In Richard C. Wilson's words
"all do a white background even if you're in different cities" (Richard C. Wilson, recorded Rainmaker Series module)
How to use this
- Inspect the team page for mismatched image quality and backgrounds.
- Give photographers the same background requirements when the team works in several cities.
