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.

@alttexthalloffame @karengregory I've seen people say not to describe the medium? ie don't say "photo of..." or "drawing of...".

Is that useful information to include? I don't want to assume what I think would be useful would actually be useful to include.

Thanks

@ScotttSee @karengregory There are differing opinions. I generally include it if it's relevant, if it's something I'd like to know about the image if I couldn't see it myself.
