Imagery Guidelines
from XO Brand Guideline
by Webber Chang
Product Images
Every product photo should stay clean, modern and sophisticated in appearance. Please follow our guidelines while shooting product photos. • Achieve nice, clean uniform lines when dealing with reflections. • Avoid black lines/awkward reflections running through important features. • Use clean, wrinkle-free props to avoid disruptive reflections. • Avoid reflections of obvious items, such as lighting, props, equipment and people. • Capture the natural shadows to use in layouts for web or print. • Use the slight angle demonstrated on the top of the following page to allow other parts of the instruments to be seen, while avoiding distortion of instrument proportions..

Artist Images
In order to maintain consistency of XO brand imagery, please follow our guidelines for photography.
The background should be neat and visually clean: a concert hall or a studio. The performers can either be playing their instruments or standing still.
Lifestyle Photography
The lifestyle photography shows the different scenarios of artists’ life, such as real-life events or milestones. The facial expressions of artists need to be positive and confident. The portraits need represent accomplished musicians and inspire other musicians.
