Pictures are of critical importance
There is no hiding place for poor pictures in newspapers, magazines or newsletters. Modern web offset printing is so clear that images have to be top quality - sharp, bright and lively.
Of course you can fill your publication with rows of men in suits shaking hands with each other if that's what floats your boat. Unfortunately it won't float anyone else's.
Pictures play a key role in drawing readers into a page. Quite simply, if you want people to read your messages you have to attract them with good pictures, and above all strong people pictures.
A lot is down to good planning. Advice on pictures is part of the Deep South design package. We will happily give you our thoughts, give you feedback on your ideas, talk to your photographer and, if necessary, source or take the pictures ourselves.
