Guide for Images and Graphics

Images: all images have their backgrounds removed - this can be done on Canva (link to be shared)

The images are meant to be “framed” into a shape that provides a background color

Small graphics can be included within the background of the image (between the photo and shape color) in a manner that does not obstruct the image, and instead compliments it. Select graphics with contrasting and complimentary colors to the shape color and the section background color.

Shape with Color Fill

Graphics

Alternatively to having graphics within the image block, you can include a graphic in the background of the section, with no graphic in the image block.

Any graphics used in the background of a section should be monochromatic to that section color. We want low-contrast in the background elements, so that the foreground elements are the ones standing out to the reader.

Also important is that any graphics used in the background should be in the corners of the section so that they do not interfere with the text on the section.

Utilizing Saved Sections

Below are a sampling of the saved sections within your website. When you go to add a new section, click on “Saved Sections” on the left-side menu, and you will see sections that are already designed and built that you can add anywhere. Then, you can customize that section with changes to the colors, images, and graphics to suit that section’s information.
