Follows the <Representative Image> Common Category Guide (Go) that applies to all categories with priority.

• In principle, text cannot be added to the representative image even for lecture·class, e-book, and sponsorship projects.
• A representative image with text inserted may not properly showcase your project when shared through various channels. This is because the ratio at which the representative image is displayed varies depending on the channel and SNS it is shared to. 
• If the text in the image is cropped during display, it may actually hurt the first impression of your project.

2. Using Text in the Representative Image

For lecture·class, e-book, and sponsorship projects, you may add text to the representative image if confirmed by the person in charge.

• Unlike other projects that provide products or services, there is no physical form of reward, and it is difficult to present the use of the reward as a representative image, so this is exceptionally permitted.
  
  
• However, only images that comply with all the rules specified in the guide may be registered.
  If even one rule is violated, text-included representative images cannot be used even for lecture·class, e-book, or sponsorship projects.
  
  

	1) Text Guide Text must not extend beyond a square area centered on the representative image. Text that extends outside the centered square may appear cropped when displayed in SNS or Wadiz search results. A representative image consisting only of text cannot be used. Please make sure to include a photo of the maker's upper body or an image that hints at the reward.
	2) Text Content Content that predicts, guarantees, or implies income or performance cannot be used in the representative image. Even without explicitly stating a specific income figure, content that could mislead supporters into believing they are guaranteed income is not permitted.
