Illustrations with Grouped Images
Another popular style of illustration in a Children’s Book is an image that includes multiple images on one page. This is often done to show movement or the passage of time.
We would describe this the same way we describe Grouped Images.
If you have a group of images, they will be combined into a single image file. This means the Alt-text needs to set up the fact that it is a group of images.
Structure the description as follows:
- Begin with
Two images side-by-sideorTwo images on top of each otherwhatever you choose make sure to establish how many images there are and what order they are in. - Start with the first image in reading order (i.e. on the left, or on the top)
- Describe each image as its own description, but begin with the location of the image:
On the leftorOn the topor evenIn the first image, …
Examples
[Alt-Text] Two images side by side. In the first, Peanut stands with one arm up in the air and the other extended straight to the side. They point one foot forward and smile with their eyes closed. Curved motion lines arch over their head. In the second image, Peanut is upside down with their legs together above their head. They balance on one arm, with the other extended out to the side. They open their eyes with a wide smile. Curved motion lines arch over their feet.
