It became clear to me that those of us who communicate primarily as writers face three significant challenges in this new multi-model communication environment. To ensure that our documents are most effective for readers/users we must
1. Understand how the text and still images work together to make meaning together for readers/users.
2. Know when still images enhance or detract from text, and vice versa.
3. Be able to effectively discuss the issues of multi modal communications with other members of the document's production team.
I agree that images can change the viewpoint of text while generating conflicting perspectives. Images change the whole image of a document. It changes the meaning of the same words. It can make it hard for a writer to convey their total meaning when following strict layout and design.
