Weekly emails keep needing last-minute cropping because images lack safe zones for headlines. Identify the recurring failure in our capture and prep (framing, safe area communication, template mismatch). Recommend one concrete change to either the email template or the shoot brief that will eliminate rework and make images ready on first pass, and explain how to implement it with store photographers.
