Explain the image’s purpose

A content assistant may help draft a description of a portfolio image, but visual appearance alone may not reveal the relevant project information. Tell it what the image is intended to demonstrate and which facts are confirmed. Avoid asking it to identify materials, people or locations that are not reliably known. The useful description should convey the image’s role in the story.

Review against the image and caption

Check for invented details and unnecessary decorative language. Keep the description aligned with the surrounding text without merely repeating a long caption. If the image is complex, provide a fuller explanation of the information elsewhere. Assistance can improve drafting efficiency, but the person publishing the portfolio must verify that the words accurately represent the work.

Imagine this

Hypothetical scenario

A hypothetical designer asks for a description of a courtyard image and explains that the relevant feature is the shaded route between entrances. The reviewer removes an invented material name before publishing.
