Use Standard Dimensions
Consider using common image dimensions (16:9, 4:3, 1:1) that match your final content requirements. This helps with layout consistency and planning.
Label Your Placeholders
Use descriptive text that indicates the purpose of each placeholder image. This helps team members understand the intended content and layout structure.
Match Your Brand Colors
