Photo layout
Though a single powerful image is preferred, this layout system is to be used when there are more than one or two photos in a communications piece. The format is divided into 16 equal rectangles. Half the page will be filled with colour and type, and the other half will be filled with images (1 to 4 photos).

Short and simple headlines will work great here.
Do not hesitate to choose one colour from our palette.
