Assignment 4 Question 2b

b. Explain in detail why the image(s) was beneficial for the post. (3 Marks)

These images were beneficial to my post because the images capture readers attention and allow them to get a proper visual representation of what I am intending to describe to them. The first image in my header captures the attention of the audience and describes visually what the content is about. This removes the need to read the title if the reader is more attracted to visuals. The next three images I chose to use were images of wedding dresses that represented the trend I discussed. These images were beneficial to the post because everyone has their own imagination of what the trends I described can look like. Giving a visual of what these trends look like eliminates the need to pull from my description and have to visualize what the content is describing. It also eliminates the chances of someone misinterpreting the trend. For example one of the trends I described was big sleeves, this could have been misinterpreted as an old fashioned 80s wedding dress sleeve. If someone thought that this was the type of sleeves I was implying, they may have been deterred from the rest of the content because the content was not relevant to them. Including visuals allows readers to know exactly what the content is describing.
