a. Why did you choose the specific image(s)? (3 Marks)
I chose these images as they are all of models showcasing different crocheted outfits with different patterns and colors perfect for the summer. The specific topic relating to my business that was chosen was the clothing line of products we sell, and taking into consideration that it is summer now, my goal was to make use of imagery that will show and represent to the users not only what colors and sized we have, but also how they look while being worn on real people, as this can help them visualize how these clothes would look on them, and therefore entice them into purchasing the products being shown. The first image showcases not only the outfit but also how it looks like on someone wearing a bathing suit underneath, which is something that many people do during the summer, so by showing them visuals of this with a real person it is transmitting the message fast. Additionally, these specific images were chosen because the main headline in this visual post is “summer is here” which immediately tells the users that the content being present will have something related to this.

The images were beneficial for the post because it showcases different clothing that fits the theme of summer which is what we are going for.

This is beneficial as it helps users understand what the clothing line is about instantly without having to use a lot of text to inform them, saving them time and triggering emotions within them, whether its excitement or curiosity.
