Photographic Style

We use photos to add life and context to our materials.

Photos should appear natural, and in full colour, without any filters or other obvious colour grading on them; the exceptions to this rule are hero or composite images (such as used in website homepage hero and posters), and these are to created by graphic designers.

Photos should be warm in tone, and feel optimistic and light. Avoid dark, gloomy images.

Action Photography

Ideally, subjects should be engaged in one of the sporting activities and should show them having fun, looking strong, or a sense of camaraderie. Individuals children should not be shown in isolation (i.e. running on their own with no other visible competitors or spectators).

The best photos capture the emotion of the moment (kids surprising themselves with their achievements), or the engagement between individuals (demonstrating the community that can be found in triathlon).

Community Photography

Photos should be diverse, inclusive and reflect our community – they should cater to all levels of sporting ability, age range of Aus3 target audience, and gender.

Children enjoying the event should be the focal point. They should look like they are having fun, not too distraced by the camera. The audience should feel encouraged to join the community and participate in the events.

Ideally, there should be multiple children in shot, even if only one subject is featured – i.e. more children in the background, including out of focus and in the distance. This helps show community and group participation.

Staged Photography

Staged photography is used for banners and advertising, featuring children in their ‘power’ pose. These photos should show combinations of the elements of confidence, achievement, empowerment, and pride.

Copywriting

The way we speak as a brand should accurately reflect who we are, regardless of the medium or the audience. To ensure consistent alignment with the Aus3 brand, we have developed the following guide.

Aus3 speaks to two distinct audiences. For teachers and parents, we maintain a professional yet approachable tone, focusing on educational outcomes and practical implementation. Our language is clear and straightforward, emphasising curriculum alignment and physical literacy development whilst acknowledging real-world constraints.

For students, Aus3 is fun, energetic and engaging. We celebrate Australia’s three most popular recreational activities – running, cycling and swimming – through simple, age-appropriate language that creates excitement around being active. Our communication is always encouraging, inclusive and focused on participation rather than competition.

Every piece of Aus3 communication should be welcoming and accessible, using active language and avoiding sporting jargon. We emphasise fun, community and personal achievement while steering clear of complex terminology or overly competitive language. Whether speaking to educators or students, we maintain an enthusiastic, supportive tone that makes everyone feel they can join in and succeed.

If you have questions about how to apply these guidelines, please contact brand@triathlon.org.au.
