Preview image. Unlock full-res

A near-black photography do/don't page pairing a 2x3 grid of approved warm portraits against a 2x3 grid of rejected images struck through with red diagonals.

Summary

A dark photography best-practice page that teaches by contrast: a left block of six approved, warm, candid portraits each tagged with a small green check, against a right block of six rejected images each crossed out with a red diagonal.

Visual description

Near-black full-bleed background. A thin running header sits at top in white. A short intro paragraph "Best Practice Examples" anchors the upper left. Below it, two labeled blocks each headed by a small circular icon: "Approved Usage: Photography" (green) on the left and "Misuse of Photography" (red) on the right. Each block is a 2x3 grid of photographs. The left grid shows warm, saturated, candid people and one landscape, every tile carrying a small green circular check badge in its lower-left corner. The right grid shows cold, staged, or clichE images, every tile struck through with a single red diagonal line. Under each grid a bold label ("Do" / "Don't") introduces a short bulleted criteria list set in small white sans-serif.

Key takeaway

The instant-read do/don't grammar: positive examples carry a quiet green check, negatives get a single decisive red strike, and parallel bullet lists explain the rule. Setting it all on near-black makes the photography pop and reads as premium.

Reuse notes

A clean template for any brand-guideline or onboarding page that needs to show acceptable versus unacceptable imagery at a glance. The green-check / red-strike convention is universally legible. Works best on a dark field and needs a strong matched pair of photo sets to make the contrast convincing.
