18 TechnologyOne Brand Guidelines 25 October 2019 8:35 AM Our style

Our customers’ customers worlds are alwaysmoving, so our ‘Moments’ style reflects this.It’s real, genuine and authentic. Capturing themoment without feeling forced. The ‘tech’becomes secondary, it’s about the technologybeing an enabler to making the customers andtheir customers lives better/ easier.

It’s all about being ‘in the moment’. Whether it’sa moment of focus or one of pure excitementand joy, it should always feel authentic.

Capture the moment so that it’s crisp, clear anduncluttered. Our imagery works best when it’sminimal, striking and graphic in style. Avoidcomplicated backgrounds or anything that’sunnecessarily busy.

Modern brands treat tech in a seamless waywith more of a the focus on how the technology enriches people lives rather than the device inwhich it’s delivered.

When technology is shot within photography it should appear natural and seamless, neverforced or overly staged.

19 TechnologyOne Brand Guidelines 25 October 2019 8:35 AM Our style

To ensure we’re always communicating a strong, empathetic brand message, it’s vital that our imagery style is always applied correctly and consistently.

Please always follow these principles when selecting imagery:

• Be human and explore a sense of interaction with objects • Have an element of depth in your imagery • Use real people who express real emotions • Use imagery that feels natural and candid.

• Be too literal or use scenarios that are overly direct and uninteresting • Use models lacking authenticity • Force technology into every shot • Use images that are busy and where the focus of the image is lost • Use shots that feel disingenuous • Use imagery that feels staged or forced.

Please note: It’s not recommended to force tech into the shot but if it is, the person should be interacting with the screen not just holding the device.
