MetLife Visual Identity Guidelines Photography 6.6 Issue 1: December 2016 How to Make a Photo Pair Our image pairs are a critical element of our visual language. Although aesthetic judgment is a factor in this process, following are some basic requirements for building a perfect pair. Subject Composition — Individual Panels Composition — Pairs If used in a benefit-related application, one panel is a detail of a benefit image and Image uses ample white space. Balance compositional contrast by using one close-in image and one pulled-back image. the other is a humanity image (see Composition — Pairs). Simple forms, low detail, not busy. Ample white space appears in both images. Images are sufficiently related in content to be parts of the same story or to communicate Utilize Rule of Thirds for balanced and dynamic compositions. Maintain a clean and comfortable seam without odd protrusions or shapes. the product message. One of the two images includes all or part of a person’s face, without looking directly Allow subject to bleed off edges. Compose the ratio using our grid guidelines (see page 7.2). into the camera.

MetLife Visual Identity Guidelines Photography 6.7 Issue 1: December 2016 Introduction to Graphic Treatment for Pairs Following are examples of successful pairs, with an introduction to the graphic treatments they can receive. This includes a multiplied overlap of the two images and multiplied or opaque color bars. See Filmstrip & Grid section for specifications on how to apply these treatments. Image Overlap Multiplied Color Bar Image Overlap Multiplied Color Bar Image Overlap: Two images in a pair can overlap and be multiplied to produce a layered effect. One Multiplied Color Bar: Here, a multiplied color bar takes the place of the point where the Image overlap and multiplied color bar: A combination of an image overlap and one multiplied color bar This can be done if the two images allow a clean, simple overlap. photographs overlap. This can be used when a multiplied overlap creates a busy, dense, or awkward strip, may be used. or to add color. Multiplied Color Bar Multiplied Color Bar Image Overlap Multiplied Color Bar Opaque Color Bar Two Multiplied Color Bars: Two multiplied color bars may be used in combination without an overlap. Image Overlap: This is another example of a pair using only an image overlap. Opaque Color Bar: Color bars may also be opaque, but only on the ends. Overlaps or middle color bars must be multiplied. Opaque color bars may be paired with multiplied bars or overlaps.
MetLife Visual Identity Guidelines Photography 6.8 Issue 1: December 2016 Pair Misuse The pairing of images must be carefully considered, paying full attention to detail. These examples illustrate some basic actions to avoid when building pairs. Do not use portraits in pairs. Do not use two benefit shots in a pair. Do not use different perspectives of the same image; Do not create awkward seams when pairing; be aware of how the rather show different, yet related, moments in time. two photos interact and aim for a clean, comfortable seam.

The filmstrip is a graphic device that helps bring our design elements together, creating a unique identifier for our brand. A filmstrip is used to convey moments in time and tell customer stories. It can be filled with a combination of imagery or color fields and may also contain messaging. Filmstrips may feature color bars that connect back to our core brand palette to help tie filmstrip elements together. There are two ways to build a filmstrip: 1) using a grid for printed materials, and 2) using scalable proportions for digital media and exceptional print materials. This section details the construction of the filmstrip for all applications.

Filmstrip Proportions of width 35% There are two ways to build a filmstrip: using a grid for printed of width materials, and using scalable proportions for digital media and exceptional print materials. Use the proportions at right and scale to the width of the touchpoint that you are creating. The longest filmstrip Large Panel Multiplied Color Bar Small Panel Color can be approximately 3:1 in ratio; or Image Overlap Bar the shortest, 1:1 in ratio. It’s ideal to stay within these proportions; 3:1 ratio max 1:1 ratio min but in certain cases where the percentages do not work, please reinterpret the breakdown to reflect this principle.
Keeping your MetLife Visual Identity Guidelines Filmstrip & Grid 7.3 Issue 1: December 2016 life in focus. Using Color Bars Color bar types We have two types of color bars for use in filmstrips: multiplied color bars and opaque color bars. You may also create the impression of a color bar by overlapping two images and using the multiply effect. Multiplied color bars are created by using the multiply effect 1/2x x at 100% opacity over an image. Size Color bars are always equal to the height of the filmstrip and come in two widths. The color bar width is determined by the filmstrip proportions or the grid. Color bars are roughly either 10% or 5% of the filmstrip width. Position Color bars may be positioned on the left edge, where two images or color fields meet, or on the right edge of a filmstrip. Opaque color bars may be positioned on the left or right edge of a filmstrip. Never frame the two ends of a filmstrip with color bars. Color Color bars are either MetLife Blue or MetLife Green when applied to filmstrips containing imagery. Color bars should appear in the same order as the colors in our symbol: MetLife Blue on the left; MetLife Green on the right. When creating filmstrips using only Do not color fields, middle color bars are bookend MetLife Dark Blue. Single Images In digital media, it might be useful to apply one color bar to the end of a single image to simulate a filmstrip effect. Per the filmstrip proportions, the bar should be 5% of the width of the image.
