2021 USAMEB BSP CATALOG 9 INTRODUCTION SAMPLE IMAGE CROPS When selecting images, you need to consider the final format of the product you are ordering. Some images will crop better to different sizes than others. Extreme formats like 2’x8’ are much more difficult to accommodate on most images. The focus of the image can be lost with a crop size and format that doesn’t work well for that particular image
Original image 2’x8’ portrait 3’x6’ landscape 2’x8’ landscape 2:3 ratio landscape 2:3 ratio portrait The examples above demonstrate that this image works in most landscape formats but loses the focus in portrait formats. Try to select images that will work well for your needs
If you select an image that doesn’t work in the requested format, our designers can suggest a similar replacement image that will work
2021 USAMEB BSP CATALOG 10 INTRODUCTION SAMPLE IMAGE CROPS This is an example of an image that works well in multiple crops and formats
Crops on images can also depend on taglines, logos and custom text
