Images should only be added to web pages if they support and add value to the content. IToo Too many images on a page confuse the users and slow down the page load time. When designing your page take into consideration that images added above the fold tend to push your key content down the page, especially when viewed on mobile.
An image should be of adequate resolution, appropriate size and aspect ratio. Note that smaller images become grainy if manually stretched to a larger size.
Higher contrast images are more easily viewed for those with low vision or accessibility needs.
Use:
Authentic imagery such as City staff in action, Toronto neighbourhoods, City events, etc.
High resolution images
City-owned photos; ensure copyright permissions
Images of people that reflect Toronto’s diversity
