Color Photography
Photography used throughout should have a clean and elevated composition which focuses on the thoughtfully-designed and luxurious rental units. The composition of the photo will need to remain elevated, clean and consistent with other photography of The Capitol District. No filters should be used and colors need to be a true visual representation.
Illustrations and Background
Scribbles should be used when possible to highlight the experience, which relates back to The Capitol District branding.
Unlike the black background for The Capitol District, white backgrounds will be used for the Apartments to suggest cleanliness and new. Social media icons will reflect this.
DO: Scribbles to illustrate the experience. | DON'T: Wrap scribbles around necks.
Ad Examples
Having the call-to-action and Apartments in brass makes a direct correlation. The charcoal gray text resembles the appliances and industrial, urban style of the apartments.
