Design Guidelines
Image and Design Best PracticesGojiKiosk represents the quality of your Brand and Restaurant.
Please review our design guidelines to deliver the best experience.
GojiKiosk is a 100% visual experience. When providing images it’s important to consider 3 main things.
- Uniformity – Generally Speaking images that have uniform angles, lighting, background, and style work very well
- Clarity – Be sure that your images are clear and someone can quickly tell what they are looking at
- Vibrance – Bright and vivid colors help make your images look interesting and delicious
**Please label and group your images accordingly so it’s easy to find and associate your images.
White Space
Try to fill the entire space with the picture.
You want the least amount of white space as possible.
- White space is area of the image file that the item or modifier is not filling
- The more white space there is the smaller the item will be presented
Too much White Space
This is an example of an item that has too much white space. Even though this cup may not fill the white space on the sides its best to fill it on the top and bottom. The red arrows show how much more space the cup could be taking up. The red border indicates the maximum size picture in the image file.
Correct White Space
This image is correctly optimized. This example shows the cup with minimal white space. The red border indicates the maximum size picture in the image file.
