Photo Requirements

  • Image Quality: Ensure that the photos you submit are of high quality. They should be clear, sharp, and well-lit. Avoid blurry or pixelated images.
  • Resolution: High-resolution images are essential for producing good quality designs. Images should have a minimum resolution of 300 DPI (dots per inch) for printing purposes.
  • Originality: Use original photos and avoid screenshots, cropped images, or images with filters. Original photos provide the best source material for designing.
  • Composition: Pay attention to the composition of your photos. Make sure you are fully visible, and nothing essential is cropped out. Avoid photos where the top of your head is cut off.
  • Logos: If the submission is for a school or organization, include their official logo if required. Ensure that the logo is of high quality and follows any specific guidelines provided.
  • Filters and Effects: Avoid using filters or heavy editing effects on your photos. Natural, unaltered photos are preferred for professional designs.
  • Resolution Check: Before submitting, check your photos for any graininess or low resolution. If they appear grainy to you, they will likely appear the same way to others.
  • Getting Creative: If you don't have high-quality photos, consider organizing a photo shoot with a friend who has a good camera or smartphone. Make it a fun and creative process to capture your personality effectively.
  • Professional Help: If possible, consider seeking the assistance of a professional photographer for your photos. They can ensure the highest quality results.
  • Review Your Photos: Take the time to review your photos critically. Ensure they represent you well and are suitable for the purpose you're submitting them for.
  • Submission Format: Follow any specific format or file type requirements provided for submitting photos. Common formats include JPEG and PNG for digital use, while print materials may require higher-quality formats.

Remember that submitting high-quality photos is crucial for creating professional designs and ensuring your photos look their best in the final product.
