Here is the context:

A continuación, antes de hablarles propiamente de la nueva XYZ, hablaremos de cómo tener una buena imagen de cara a los espectadores .

Thanks for your help.

I think you are right about the division of phrases. I was mistaken. I thought this was a technical term in the industry related to the quality of film, but I now see that is it just a general marketing statement, and nothing else.
jbren May 14, 2009:
parsing? I might be missing something here but the way you are parsing it seems odd. To me it would make more sense to parse it as "buena imagen"..."de cara a los espectadores."

good spectator-facing image

Just a different way of getting at it. Not quite there yet...

As in the construction> how to have (or develop) a good [adjective] image

how to make the public like you/make yourself look attractive to the public
