GUIDELINES
Guidelines for Photographs Only use color when color adds value. Indicate the relative size of the subject. Remove non-pertinent items from the
background.
Guidelines for Captions Give the illustration a unique caption. Should not give information found in
the text or photograph. Should not provide unnecessary
background information. Use longer and more descriptive
captions for a lay audience than those for a purely technical or scientific audience.
Guidelines for Captions (Contd.) Write the caption as a noun.
Guidelines for Callouts Make it visible. Where possible, keep the line straight.
