Another positive aspect is that pictures make everything clear. Whether it is the infographics for the press release or the pictures of dog biscuits baking. The fact is - through a picture a text comes to life and gets a recognition value. Infographics can help readers to analyse and interpret a study or research at a glance.

Bright colors and unrealistic editing look unsightly and make readers and journalists quickly switch off. For successful communication, the archetypes in the pictures are indispensable. In other words - it can help to address specific target groups by using archetypes. So that the target group can better identify with the picture.

Images also have a lot of power in PR and it makes sense to include a meaningful image in press releases to appeal to journalists or later readers. Perhaps pictures really do say more than a thousand words.
