02: Preparing Images for Event

Why?

We post up recordings of all our webinars and coaching calls for our members who cannot attend the events live. We give each call an image that is consistent with our branding.

You can see examples of previous calls here: http://members.wpelevation.com/coaching-calls/

What You Will Need

You will need access to:

• our BigstockPhoto account (logins are in the vault)

• the WPE VUM Blog Images folder in Dropbox

• Photoshop or Preview on the Mac for cropping images.

If you do not have access to these resources, please contact Troy Dean or Gin McInneny to request access.

Read the overview of the event in the asana task's parent. This will give you a good idea of what the event will be about, and help you better choose a relevant image.

Log into our Big Stock account using the logins from the vault.

Search for business related images and refine your search by choosing Vector and Landscape from the filters.

Choose an image that we have not already used in the members website.

They should be the same image, but with a different flag overlayed on the image.

The flags we use are attached to this process.

Digest Thumbnail

The digest thumbnail must contain all three flags.

You will know this process is complete when you have saved all images in the correct Dropbox folders.

Mark it as complete in Asana and stand up and touch your toes.
