Reposting this amazing mini-guide on how to write helpful alt text created by @Veron4ica (source: https://veroniiiica.com/how-to-write-alt-text-image-descriptions-visually-impaired/) and found via @karengregory (including Karen's original image description) so that I can pin it.

ALT text copied and pasted from the linked website: An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”

Alt Text as Poetry
