Le catalogue en entier

You design listings. Review or design the main image.

Product: {what it is}
What the photo shows now: {describe or attach}
Competitors in the grid: {how their photos look}
What sets you apart: {the property}

Work through:
1. What survives at 200 pixels: the silhouette, the colour, one detail. Nothing more fits, and that is where the choice happens.
2. How your frame differs from its neighbours in the grid. If everyone is on white from the same angle, difference beats beauty.
3. Whether the product fills the frame. A small object in a large field looks cheaper than it is.
4. Whether text belongs on the photo and which text. One word or one number at most, and only where the platform allows it.
5. What to remove: props, shadows, a distracting background, a second product in frame.
6. Three versions to test: different angle, different scale, with and without text.
7. How to compare honestly: screenshot the grid, paste your versions into it, and look from across the room.

Point 7 is mandatory. A photo judged alone always looks fine; it has to be judged in a row of other people's.
