A picture paints a thousand words- we've all heard it before and as cliche' as it sounds, it's true. Professional writing is not just words and numbers, it's also graphics and images. Graphics and images help demonstrate information. Graphics should be used whenever information calls for it. They can help illustrate a point or an idea. A graphic may be used to show you the blue prints to a house or they can even be the instructions to building a model car. Some graphics help show numerical data in the form of a plot. These types of graphs would be used to show financial growth or decline in a business.
Images can be incredibly powerful and compelling tools of communication. They can convey not only information but also moods and emotions. A few carefully chosen images can go a long way. An image can can make or break the understanding of the reader of the message you're trying to share with them. Basically, graphics and images simplify a situation so the reader can focus on the details.

Very true, everything you said in here I couldn't agree with more. Great post hopefully this will encourage more pictures and graphics to be used in the upcoming posts
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post. Most of the time a picture either lures readers in or pushes them away. It is important that the picture posted captures what is being written in the article.
