Images and animation 

This section contains information on how COWI uses images, image style and size, copyright and animations

We combine large images in landscape format with small, square images with space around all and rounded corners.

The corners are rounded in order to contrast with COWI's fifth element, the grey cut-off. The combination of rounded corners and the sharp, grey cut-off helps to soften the overall visual impression. See also 'Brochure'.

Read about COWI's fifth element under 'Basic elements'.

Image style

We use close-ups that focus on people.  

Documentary images and images of products should be cropped closely. Alternatively, use a detail as it is difficult to see many details on small images. 'See also Image style'.
