Photo Guidelines for the Mens’ National
Tennis Tournament Program
The purpose of this document is to provide useful
information to the many athletic teams that are
providing photos and rosters for the upcoming 2017
Mens’ National Tennis Tournament event. Our intent is
help the various participants in this tournament show
their organizations, and by proxy their students,
in the most favorable way possible. We are providing
examples so that coaches may see what images are
successful and those that do not present their teams
positively. It is important all participants to look as
good as they can.
Please notice that the photo format is a horizontal image.
In looking at the pages from previous programs, note the
tiered pose of the players in photos 1 and 3. This allowed
the faces of the players to be more visible in the picture
so the viewer can really see what individuals look like.
Photographers should allow enough space at the top and
bottom of their images so feet and heads do not get
cropped off. Players need to close up gaps in the photos
so awkward spaces do not occur as in picture 4. Long
single lines of players make for very small facial images
and unattractive photos in the program as shown in
pictures 2 and 6. Please do
not submit photos that have been formatted for use on
the web because the low resolution results in poor print
quality. If you have ever seen pictures where people
look as though they have measles, it was because web
images were used in print.
Please make sure to include your rosters and identify
players in your submitted photos. Your students will
appreciate the recognition.
We hope that this information is helpful, and we thank
you in advance for your assistance.
