Maybe it’s a good idea to make a guideline doc…
I struggle with some things: example when cropping the text says don’t do anything aesthetically at this point, this will be done by rating.
Some landscape pics with more people can’t fit in the circle, however when this is thee only image i would prefer a small border above no picture at all…
However it’s not possible to know if other images for this artist exist when you are cropping.
What should you do: leave the border and let the rejection take please in the ranking part? Or should you reject asap, resulting in maybe losing the picture completely?
Also when cropping banners, there are lots of picture which cannot display the complete face of the artist, I don’t reject these yet, I try to fit as much as possible in the frame, maybe sometimes cutting a bit hair because I feel the chin is more representing that the forehead / hair.
Guidelines with visual examples would help a lot here, I feel the brief texts in the art director are not enough to guide us to take the right decisions …
