We can think of images as static information we receive through our eyes, collections of ink or pixels. This includes photographs, charts and graphs, abstract shapes, and even words. Images can communicate powerfully on their own, but as smart composers, we know that new expressive possibilities emerge when we thoughtfully combine images with written text. This page will help you develop a basic understanding of how to compose (with) images effectively.

The following sections provide an overview of Process, Tips & Examples, Tools, and Resources for working with images.
