Design System<br />

<strong>The</strong> design system used for all <strong>Cincinnati</strong> Children’s<br />

communications materials incorporates type, color, photography<br />

and design elements such as lines and shapes. <strong>The</strong>se guidelines are<br />

intended to help employees, graphic design agencies and others<br />

who use the <strong>Cincinnati</strong> Children’s brand when creating print and<br />

electronic pieces.<br />

Photography<br />

Overall, photography should maintain a captured-in-the-moment,<br />

editorial style with close interaction between the primary subjects<br />

in the composition (professionals, families, patients). Health care<br />

shots should convey the feeling of warmth and compassion.<br />

Research and surgery shots should suggest cutting-edge work and<br />

include people using modern technology/equipment.<br />

Photographs will come from a wide variety of sources, including<br />

our existing library of images, photo shoots and/or stock photography.<br />

Keep the following principles in mind when selecting photos and<br />

setting up photo shoots.<br />

Lighting<br />

When possible, use natural light. In general, light should be:<br />

• Bright, warm, uplifting<br />

• Not overly saturated<br />

• Not high contrast<br />

• Limited in use of photo or computerized enhancements<br />
