A Guide to Choosing Images
Community
Use photography that shows off Dartmouth's sense of community, diversity, and unique activities. Highlight images that show elements of human interaction and feature unexpected locations and events. Avoid using group shots that don't reflect the diversity of the Dartmouth community. Also avoid using shots of students, events, campus culture, and interaction that look posed, inauthentic, cliché, or "college brochure."
Academic
Select images that showcase Dartmouth's unique educational environment. Highlight images that show a diversity of fields, student collaboration, professor-to-student relationships, and hands-on, experiential learning. Avoid classroom images that lack dynamism, professor-to-student engagement, or interaction.
Sense of Place
Use images that display the beauty of Dartmouth's traditions, landmarks, and the New Hampshire landscape. Show a variety of perspectives—both sprawling and close-up images create dynamic shots. Select images that show off the change of seasons.
Illustrative Storytelling
Tell Dartmouth stories in an alternate way. Contemporary illustration can be used for a modern yet warm approach. Utilize student, alumni, and local talent whenever possible.
