Advances in technology have democratized the process
of illustrating documents such as brochures, reports, and
websites. With digital cameras, scanners, and a wide
variety of stock illustrations available, technical
communicators need not rely on graphic designers to
choose images for their documents. However, conveying
a theme or concept through a series of images can be a
difficult task, and literature says little about choosing
images to convey a theme.
This paper synthesizes results of available literature and looks to theories of visual rhetoric to fill in the gaps regarding images and themes. Results of a survey show
that readers of more easily identify themes when
connections between words and images are clear
