Set the Frame
Facilities just noticed the new lobby screens use three different layouts, and your visuals keep getting awkwardly cut off when they auto-fit.

The event poster is almost perfect, but every “quick fix” keeps accidentally changing something else and you have one short review window to lock it down.

Avoid and Emphasize

Reference Your Look
In 20 minutes, you need three promo visuals that clearly belong together, or your event table will look like a random mix of brands.

Borrow a Real Camera
