Assembling an Image System
It benefits the entire organization to have a library of
images with re-usable parts and pieces that employees
can draw on. This way they don’t have to scramble
to find appropriate industry-related images for their
presentation. They’ll have access to pre-approved
images, which helps productivity by having key design
decisions already made. They’ll have the tools they
need at hand so they can focus on building effective
content rather than scrambling to create elements
from scratch.
This section focuses on two types of
images: photography and illustration.
This chapter covers the fundamentals, as well as stylistic
insights that will help guide you in determining the
right approach for your images.
