Build Your Own Library

Probably one of the best methods to put into practice for communications is to create and maintain an authentic photo library. As long as you have photography permissions of the people and/or subject you will have a variety of images to select from when promoting an event, post, or information from your organization.

Tips:

  • Organized your image library folder with sub folders based on communication needs.
  • Obtain select images from your people within your organization. Eliminate any low quality images.
  • Create a long term stock image folder of sustainable images to use at any time.
