Imagery

Imagery includes photos, illustrations and artwork. The following details imagery use:

  • Brightcove Beacon only supports custom background images on Splash screen.
  • Custom images can be added to replace the placeholders images for the layout's content, but this should be avoided to ensure the design delivery is on time and mockups sign-offs are not delayed.
  • If custom content images need to be added to the mockups, Brightcove needs a minimum of 25 images with exact 1920x1080px size.
  • Brightcove Beacon does not support custom placeholder avatar images for user profiles.
  • App launcher icons/images will be based on the provided logo and app background color.

Typography

Typography includes font styles, sizes and spacing. Brightcove Beacon currently supports Noto Sans typeface (for RTL supported languages). It is not possible to change font sizes, weight/style or spacing. Nor is it possible to add custom fonts.
