Design Image

Beautiful photos are really important

When overlaying text on top of images, add an overlay to improve the contrast to make it easier to read the text

Similarly, adding a shadow to the text can help elevate it over the image

When adding screenshots of your app, don’t scale down a large screenshot

• Heuristic: Screenshot for the target device Ex: Tablet screenshot vs scaled down PC
• Heuristic: Else, magnify a section of the UI to show clearly what it looks like
• Heuristic: Else, remove text from the screenshot. Text is hard to read for small screenshots

When dealing with user-submitted images, frame them as well as you can

• Heuristic: Center user images and put them in fixed-size containers,
• Heuristic: Prevent images bleeding into the background by adding a light border or shadow
