An imagery direction page titled "Celebrating places", with a left text column and a dense three-row grid of candid city life photographs on the right.
Summary
An imagery-category page on city life photography. A narrow left text column sits beside a packed grid of candid street and people photographs that defines the "celebrating places" mood.
Visual description
Warm cream background. The section number "2.7.5 City life photography" runs top-left on a hairline rule. The left column carries an oversized two-line headline, "Celebrating places", set lowercase, over three short justified body paragraphs explaining that city life photography paints a picture of the cities hcma works in. The right two-thirds is a tightly gridded three-row block of photographs, roughly eight per row with no gutters, showing skateboarding kids, cyclists, swimmers, a lifeguard, street portraits and architectural snapshots in mixed orientations. A persistent left-rail section index (Logo, Tagline, Lockups, Avatar, Colour, Type, Imagery in bold with an arrow, Graphics, Applications) and a footer ("© 2022 hcma.ca" left, "hcma brand guidelines" center, "Version 01" right) sit on hairline rules.
Key takeaway
The contrast between a calm typographic left column and a loud, edge-to-edge photo mosaic on the right. Packing many small frames with zero gutters communicates abundance and energy without any single hero image carrying the page.
Reuse notes
A strong template for the imagery or mood-board page of a brand guide, or any page that needs to demonstrate a photographic category at volume. Works best with a genuinely varied, candid photo library; a thin or stocky set will look weak at this density.
