| ==When to use images== | | ==When to use images== |
| ''A picture is worth a thousand words'' is an appropriate cliche when it comes to most situations and images. Images should be used when it enhances information about the topic or item it accompanies. They add visual interest and set tones or moods for the page and other places they appear. Images can clarify and validate procedures and conditions

| ===When NOT to use images===
| |
| Not every instance or place is appropriate for images, however. Images should be avoided if they do not add something of value to the user. Images should not be used as filler, or in lieu of important information. Images affect size and format of the information being viewed, and can cover information that shouldn't be covered. This is especially true as more information is viewed on non-standard and small screens.
