Five Ways to Integrate Prose & Graphics • Exercise: integrating prose and graphics • Five key relationships among prose and pictures: • Juxtapositional • Redundant • Complementary • Supplementary • Stage-setting • Activity
Juxtapositional Relationship • characterized by different content in words and pictures, in which the key ideas are created by a clash or a semantic tension between the ideas in each mode; the idea cannot be inferred without both modes being present simultaneously
Redundant Relationship characterized by substantially identical content appearing visually and verbally, in which each mode tells the same story, providing repetition of key ideas
Complementary Relationship • characterized by different content visually and verbally, in which both modes are needed in order to understand the key ideas
Supplementary Relationship • characterized by different content in words and pictures, in which one mode dominates the other, providing the main ideas, while the other reinforces, elaborates, or instantiates the points made in the dominant mode (or explains how to interpret the other)
Stage-Setting Relationship • characterized by different content in words and pictures, in which one mode (often the visual) forecasts the content, underlying theme, or ideas presented in the other mode
