 A big part of writing Alt-text is being as direct and concise as possible. The words we use have a big role in how this is accomplished. You can learn more about being direct and concise on the [[public:nnels:etext:images:general_guidelines|General Guidelines]] page.
+Remember, the most direct way to describe something is to stick to the facts and describe what it looks like. If there is an object that is abstract, futuristic, or complex in its shape you can describe it is relation to another common object. As long as it invokes the right imagery in your mind.
 On this page you will find a list of terms to use for describing trickier parts of images, including, but not limited to, facial expressions, culturally specific clothing, buildings, etc..
