Visuals are not decoration. They are communication tools. Provide three strategic reasons why visuals are essential to effective web content.
For each reason:
• Clearly explain the concept
• Provide a real-world example (not generic statements)
Marks are awarded for depth, not surface-level answers. (6 Marks)
The first reason is that the visuals help the viewer understand the content better. Not everyone enjoys reading a lot of content; therefore, visuals that relate to the content displayed can help people understand. For example, if I have a section on my website talking about Mat Pilates classes, I would display an image of someone doing an exercise. Now that there’s an image, people can get the visual representation of what i being talked about in the copy.
The second strategic reason is that it is what truly can capture people’s attention. This also plays into the color scheme that you choose, which represents the brand identity. I know for me that I like visual hevery content and I would last a second on a website with no visuals because there would be nothing much to get my attention. Lastly, visuals help capture emotion and brand identity. For a wellness studio, the colours you want to choose are warm, natural tones like beige or brown. This is what I chose for my website because I captured the brand identity, and I wouldn’t choose any bright colors because it doesn’t match the brand. This claiming color scheme and photo of people doing yoga, maybe even outdoor captures, so much emotion for the viewer. The visuals all work together to communicate relaxation and mindfulness to the viewer, creating emotion and emphasizing the brand’s identity.
