Image Guidelines for Your Fundraising Campaign
Why Good Images Matter
A compelling image can make your campaign stand out, capture emotion, and help donors connect with your cause. Here’s how to choose the best images for your campaign:
Best Practices for a Great Campaign Image
-
Choose High-Quality Images
- Minimum size: 1024 x 768 pixels for clear, sharp images.
- Use bright, well-lit photos to enhance visibility.
- Avoid blurry, pixelated, or low-resolution images.
-
Select an Image That Tells a Story
- Pick an image that reflects your cause—people receiving aid, volunteers in action, or a personal moment.
- Show emotion: smiles, hope, gratitude, or real-life challenges can be very impactful.
-
Avoid Text-Heavy Graphics
- Too much text over an image makes it hard to read.
- If using text, keep it minimal and ensure it's easy to read.
-
Respect Privacy & Permissions
- Use only images you own or have permission to use.
- Obtain consent when sharing identifiable photos of individuals.
- Do not use copyrighted images or stock photos without proper licensing.
-
Use Islamic Relief Canada's Branding When Possible
- If available, include official visuals like logos or event images.
- This helps with brand recognition and builds trust with donors.
