When selecting images for a project, it is crucial to be mindful of the story you want to tell. A single image can convey a thousand words, and the right choice enhances user engagement, credibility, and emotional connection.
One of the most common mistakes in image selection is failing to reflect reality. Users can quickly spot unrealistic or staged images, which can harm credibility and diminish trust. To ensure authenticity, images should align with the expectations and experiences of the target audience.
Below are three real-world scenarios where careful image selection played a key role in creating a compelling and credible user experience.
