Guidelines for the use of Effect House
Effect House focuses on creating experiences that are inclusive and representative of TikTok’s diverse global community. Developing inclusive effects is an important part of this goal. When creating your effects, be sure to follow the guidelines.
- Test your effects on different skin colours and groups of people. If you can, get feedback from friends. This will help you see if your effect works for others. Make sure that all users enjoy your effects.
- People of all ages, skin colours, body shapes and types should be able to enjoy your community effects. Make sure your effect does not support hurtful ideas about self-image. This could be the case if it draws attention to certain body features. For example, by changing you to be thinner.
- Do not create effects that alter users’ natural features. Effects that add an overlay of make-up (eye shadow, blush) can be fun and help people express their creativity. However, if the shape or appearance of people’s natural features are altered, this can be harmful and promote unhealthy appearance requirements.
- Consider the cultural context. TikTok is a global community made up of different cultures and contexts. Users with a different cultural context than their own may perceive your effect differently than you intend.
- Always consider accessibility. People with disabilities may find it difficult to use some effects. This is especially true for effects with smaller font sizes or bright, flashing lights. Colour contrasts that affect readability or visibility can also be disadvantageous. Effects with loud background sound, can also be a barrier. This is because the speaker is no longer heard.
- Do not promote stereotypes. Create inclusive community effects and avoid perpetuating gender stereotypes, racial stereotypes. Also de-emphasise stereotypes based on innate characteristics.
- Create original effects. Always remember to create effects that are your own creation. Inspiration is an important part of any creative process. However, make sure you have unique ideas and don’t copy someone else’s work directly.
