Headshot

  When having your photo taken for a head-shot you need to follow a few tips to make sure you get a good photo. A few of these tips include, making sure you have your best side in view, this is very important because it makes your image looks better and it makes you look better for the person who's looking at it. Also when taking a head-shot, it is important that your facial expressions match your personality, for example in my photo I am smiling so this would let of that I am a fun and bubbly person whereas if i was to have a serious face, this would let out that I would be a more strict person who is a little more work-incentive.  When it came to editing my photo firstly I wanted to crop my photo to get rid of all of the dead space around the top of the photo.

It also includes what kind of product or service it provides, its primary customers or market, and its geographical region of operation. These are very important for a business because it gives potential customers or shareholders a glimpse into what kind of business it goes into. Brand positioning refers to the place that a brand occupies in the minds of the customers and how it is distinguished from the products of the competitors and different from the concept of brand awareness. Brands that stand out compared to other brands tend to do better than companies and brands that are not unique.
