以下是美術圖製作流程的準則，以及必須提供給非原創作品美術圖機構的內容，他們會為您的影片製作美術圖。

請接受我們誠摯的謝意！您在此過程中的留心配合將能讓我們為您的影片製作出最高品質的美術圖。

我們相信任何地方都可能出現引人入勝的故事，而且能為各地觀眾帶來樂趣。 我們的理念就是讓每一部影片透過我們的服務大放異彩，為所有觸及的觀眾創造意義並帶來影響。

觀眾會在一天中不同時刻、帶著不同的心情找到想看的影片，他們各在生命中的不同時期，在影片的不同生命週期與它相遇。 每位觀眾都獨一無二，對某一個人來說很有趣的影片，在其他人看來卻未必如此。 因此，我們希望每部影片的美術圖都能成為通往故事的窗口，透過各式各樣的影像，吸引興趣、品味與心情各不相同的廣大觀眾，讓觀眾和故事之間產生真實聯繫。

此外，Netflix 產品團隊也對美術圖資產有許多要求與期待，美術圖能被彈性靈活運用是最重要的關鍵。 每張圖片設計都必須能搭配各式範本、本地化為多種語言，並能因應會員的觀賞偏好和使用裝置以不同方式呈現。 這些圖片會顯示在任何地方，小至手機螢幕，大至最新的超大螢幕電視。

我們的非原創作品美術圖機構會使用您提供的原始資產與資料，根據 Netflix 規格和品質標準建立美術圖，確保影像能充分傳達您的影片精神，並在美術圖中展現故事裡各種可能會吸引 Netflix 會員的元素。

Additionally, the Netflix Product demands and expects a lot from its artwork assets, and flexibility is at the core of everything we do. Each image is designed within a template called the Universal Base Asset, which allows artwork to fit within a variety of templates, facilitates localization in many languages, and surfaces creative differently to each member based on their viewing preferences and devices. These images will be seen everywhere from small, mobile phone screens to the latest and largest TV screens.

The UBA also allows all the amazing artwork you provide to look incredible even if the product UI changes (which it will)! A UBA can be adjusted to fit in any new space on the product, meaning your title will always be represented in the best possible light.

Using the raw assets and source materials you provide, one of our NPAAs will create artwork to Netflix specs and quality standards, ensuring that the imagery best represents your title and showcases various parts of the story that may appeal to Netflix members.

Aim for creative diversity in the asset suite

We always convey the core essence of the title in the artwork (meaning, the main character(s) and the core genres), but there is still room to bring diversity into the suite authentically. For example, we may show the main character with different secondary characters. We may explore a range of emotions. We may showcase different settings and contexts to give more clues to the storyline, setting or tone.

Key considerations to drive diversity in a suite:

• Avoid very minor variations of the same image or talent

• If we have strong IP, famous talent, etc. remember that’s most likely the key factor (e.g., if it’s a Godzilla movie, you most likely want Godzilla in every asset)

• Only represent prevalent aspects of the story

• Never deviate from what the content is really about

• Ensure the core markers are present when it comes to genre, plot and characters across the suite

One of the NPAAs will reach out to you in order to coordinate the receipt of raw assets and source materials so that they can create the artwork for your title. The Artwork Agency will then work closely with the Netflix Product Discovery & Promotion (PDP) team to develop the imagery. PDP will ensure that each title’s artwork accurately represents the content, meets Netflix creative excellence standards, and enhances the title discovery journey in order to allow the opportunity for the title to grow and find its audience on Netflix.

Whether you’re delivering one title or many, the NPAA needs as many of the following raw assets and source materials as possible for every title. For each asset, always prioritize the following:

• Highest-resolution possible

• Layered files and editable raw assets

• Good file hygiene (clear file naming & folder organization)

• Asset must be cleared for use in promotion of the title both on and off the Netflix service

• Asset must be adaptable to the Universal Base Asset

  • We find the best UBA suitable images are those of the highest quality and where most of the action is happening in the center of the frame. Talent is usually clearly visible and not cropped too tightly.

Key Artwork or Poster

This is a poster, or “key art”, that is used to promote the title in marketing promotions. Whenever it exists for a title it should be adapted to UBA specs and provided as a layered PSD file, meaning all text, logos, characters, and background elements should be separated within the file. Deliver the highest resolution possible, with no compression. UBA creation is essential so that the Key Art creative can be used in all product canvases and asset types, not just vertical artwork.

Note: we will not always include the Key Art on the product even if you provide it to us. For example, if talent is hard to see or the image lacks context on the genre of the title, we prefer to use images that do the best job of conveying the right context to the member so they can confidently press play and enjoy your title!

Stills from the Content

Your NPAA will be able to provide the best stills using our incredible Netflix tools so you don’t have to worry about providing them. But if you do have them…

Providing high-resolution stills from key moments in the content itself is really beneficial to creating the most relevant and compelling artwork for the title. We recommend providing a minimum of 10-15 stills. If provided, they need to be creatively diverse, meaning they are showing different scenes and situations of the main cast and moments from the title. Center focused assets work best for the Universal Base Asset and artwork across service.

Members really resonate with stills because they are the truest reflection of the actual experience they will get when watching your title.

Stills cannot be created via screen shots as they will not be high enough resolution. The still images must be from the video itself.

Marketing, Gallery, Unit, or Other Photography

If you have any additional assets or photography available for your title, it makes for great creative source material that can be used in artwork. When available, please provide the highest resolution possible, and ensure that everything you provide can be used freely in promotion of the title on and off the Netflix service. However, note that we do not need and cannot use any backstage or behind-the-scenes content, so don’t provide it.

Please note that pure studio backgrounds often need some additional background context added in to give the member the best sense of the title they are about to watch.

Universal Base Asset (UBA) is a flexible artwork template that can easily fulfill any of our on-service product canvases across TV, web and mobile. By ensuring that all promotional artworks are delivered in the UBA format, we are also able to future-proof your titles against any future UI enhancements. We provide our agencies with two UBA templates, UBA Horizontal and UBA Square. UBA horizontal is more commonly utilized for product needs.

We understand that not all images are immediately UBA-friendly. To adapt these artworks into UBAs for delivery, our artwork agencies may extend the background of these images, while ensuring that all background extensions are authentic to the environment and context of the content.

Examples of background extensions to fit images into UBA - for illustrative purposes:

Additionally, not every center-focused asset is UBA friendly. We must ensure that the main focus of the image is within our safe zones. See below for examples of non-UBA friendly assets:

The NPAA that you partner with will be able to determine how to best make your artwork UBA friendly so that it appears properly on service.

我們需要您提供影片標誌或標題處理，最好能以向量檔案（如 AI、EPS 或 PDF）格式提供。 這點非常重要，如此一來在縮放您的標誌時，才不會減損標誌品質。 也請提供標誌使用的字型名稱。

僅接受高品質、高解析度（寬度為 2500 像素以上）的點陣圖檔案，且無任何其他物件或元素。

如果可以，也請交付任何已本地化的標誌或標題處理。 這類內容也適用相同的檔案標準。

Scale

Ensure that the logo is utilizing the scope of the logo canvas to create strong readability.

Color

When the original color of the provided logo does not read well across canvases - NPAA should optimize the best color choices for both dark and light logos to enhance readability.

Design Issues

Keep the integrity of the original design of a provided logo - we should simplify heavily stylized logos - removing strong gradients, logos within containers, etc.

Character Artwork

If you are providing kids’ titles to Netflix, please provide the NPAA with any final, character assets of the main character(s) so that we can leverage these in the creation of character-specific artwork.

Purpose & Use

Character Base is an asset that represents a title in the Netflix Kids space (ages 0-12). It’s usually a singular character, or 1-2 characters. The image is used in three ways:

1. Full body

2. Half body crop

3. Circle crop

When providing raw assets to your NPAA, please be mindful of the below needs.

Requirements:

• Full body image

• Facing camera

• No text, objects, border effects

Here are a couple of examples that work wonderfully on our product:

Here are a few examples that would be rejected:

Video Content

If you have high-quality video assets such as a trailer or other promotional videos, they can also be used as source material to create artwork. The file should ideally be 2GB or greater in file size, and 4:2:2 quality, to ensure these are assets that are appropriate to pull stills for artwork from. Please provide those to the NPAA, as available.

Note that the NPFP collects all final, high-resolution content for delivery and use on the Netflix service. NPAAs do not take delivery of any video content for use on the Netflix service, but in some regions they might collect final, high-resolution video assets that may be used in promotion of the title off of the Netflix service. These video assets must be cleared for promotion off-service (content, music, imagery, etc.). Upon delivery, please call out specific scenes, talent, etc that we should not use for on or off service promotion.

每個非原創作品美術圖機構的工作方式都可能稍有不同，在開始合作前，請雙方務必先討論檔案交付與工作期望。 請參考以下重要準則，用於確保流程順暢進行：

• 確認檔案傳送方式：您要將檔案傳到非原創作品美術圖機構可存取下載的地方，或者該機構會提供您上傳位置？ 
• 交付檔案時，請確保檔案命名分類井然有序！ 利用個別影片資料夾將每部影片的原始資料分門別類。 在影片資料夾中，請為主要美術圖、劇照、標誌、攝影內容等項目設定專屬子資料夾。
