Alt Text for Images and Graphics
Alt text is for people who use readers/have visual needs so it’s a direct description of the image.
Captions for Images and Graphics
Captions should be thought of as standalone mini-stories, like a sentence or two you’d put on Instagram that can live on its own. Give context, use a quote if you want, but always tell a story or give information. Name people whose faces are in images.
