Photography: High-quality images and photography play a key role in making VISION editorials so appealing to our visually minded audience of design professionals. The most appealing images show a room setting with a focus on the window fashion, although when appropriate we will consider product shots in isolation. Images must be unique, not have been previously used in advertising, collateral, sampling, or other printed material. Images must be in digital format, which should be 300 dpi or larger at 100%.
