It’s great to have a picture of a guest in the studio and they’ll often share on their own social media too. Don’t forget to tag @cambridge105.
If you’re sending a picture in advance to schedule@cambridge105.co.uk, don’t forget most of the pictures used on the site are Landscape rather than portrait. The website will sometimes crop a picture in a different way for a separate section, take a look at the homepage of the website. It’s automatic, so a picture that’s the wrong size might see a head decapitated!
Please ensure that you own the copyright for the picture – that usually means that you’ve taken it yourself or it’s been issued to promote the artist/guest on your show – and NOT just lifted from Google.
Pictures uploaded to the Cambridge 105 Radio should either be 1200 x 900, 1200 x 800 or 1200 x 675 pixels.
The images are often cropped to other dimensions automatically, so ensure the subject is in the centre of the picture.
Please do not use Square images.
Web Editors: If your picture is slightly larger, or out of proportion, you can trim them within WordPress. You can even create a separate image that will appear as the thumbnail. For example head and shoulders of a guest.
It’s also important that all pictures are labelled correctly – that helps us be better found on search engines like Google.
