Website Image Brief

Types of image

 

All our images can be the first split into two types, Hero and Content. We can then better understand the purpose of an image by thinking about our Why, How and What. Does an image embody why we exist, how we do what we do or what we do?

 

HERO IMAGES 

Hero images promote our purpose, they show emotive, aspirational stories. Hero images will often be to show our WHY. Why do we exsist


CONTENT IMAGES

Content images are used within articles, stories and social media. Content images are often used to detail our how and what rather than our why. For example rather than show the output of a playwrights work, they may show the process in creating that work and the services we provide in support.
