Do...
- Include first and last names whenever possible.
- Remember, 20 years from now people will not remember
names.
- Try to use 2-3 sentences per caption.
- Keep captions in the outside corners.
- Captions should describe what is going on in the
picture. Who is doing what?
- You may use a "catch phrase" as your first sentences
as long as it's not negative.
- Keep humor to a minimum.
- Make the captions the same width as the picture.
|
Don't...
- Don't use just one sentence.
- Don't write anything negative, derogatory, etc.
(Remember; what's funny to you can be hurtful to someone
else).
- Do not make the caption talk to the people in the
picture (ie: "Hey Joe, look at the camera.")
- Do not write the caption as if the people in the
picture are talking (ie: "Hey, don't take my
picture.")
- Don't overuse the exclamation mark ! (when in doubt,
don't use it).
