Motivational pictures?
If you like lollies, and we all do (most of us), you will definitely be attracted by the image of lollies. No? Just the view of them will ignite your desire for one. Right?
What is my point?
An image ignites .
Just let that sink.
Now comes my question.
What motivates you? Your surrounding? Your audience?
And how do you use visuals to ignite that?
Motivational pictures are a BIG tool.
Only a few know how to use them.
Some examples of do's and don't
- Too many pictures in a blog are distracting, unless the pictures tell a story and can be read separately.
- Too small or too big is invasive, unless you use it as a boom effect (not to be repeated too often). Most of the time it will scare your viewers or annoy them. Ever tried to enlarge pics that did not show clearly or view them with a magnifying glass? Yuk! Right!
- Common pictures popping up over and over again with a sense of déjà vu. Unless you like boring, you will skip to the next one or leave the page. We all know those images ... even here on our Platform... uh... can we be original?
- Not relevant. A picture with no relation to your subject. Unless it has a meaning, of course.
- Not framed. You all know those heads with no body or bodies with no head. Make sure to use the right frame, eventually you will have to edit your image.
- Bad perspective. Close up, and landscape have specific uses, just like portrait mode and close up.
Those are about the major points of attention when using images.
Tip
In the media tool of word press you can set the pictures to your own like. Do not forget to label and save them!

It's definitely something I need to look into. I have problem finding relevant pictures for my websites, on my old one I use only my own pictures what I take with my phone, but don't have enough relevant ones :)
Glad you reminded me of that.
Amazing post Fleeky,Motivational Pictures,Is very important it drew attention and delivered messages. Great job keep up the good work. All the best to you on your journey at WA. May you have continue success with your business.Have a great weekend.
hahaha, yep that's pretty bad when you see a pic with no head!!! I agree pics are so important. Too many of them can be quite annoying.
The best would be to use our own original pics but one needs to know how to take good pics!!
Thank you for your tips, very helpful!
Thank you Fleeky, for me the visuals are nearly always an issue, downloading, uploading, editing, cropping and so on, eventually I guess, it will get easier.. 👍
Very hard indeed... and themes have their own odds as well. Takes a while to get through that jungle! Yuk!
Thank you for sharing!
🥰
I clicked because I adore chocolate *drool* - you are of course spot on Fleeky, and it's good to be reminded of these things, I use images quite a bit...
...I may take a day out now just to go back through and see that I am using them in the correct way, do not want to antagonise my audience! Thank you, Jules

Create your own. Making your own is rather simple. Use some markers, have your kids draw one or cut and paste letters onto a piece of paper. I see alot of scrabble letters put together that spells something out. Find a photo in the area you live in. Its pretty easy to upload it and add your own touches yourself. If I can't find something I like, I realized you created one with our own personal touch to it. I believe in adding your own creativity attracts people to some different. Not the same old same old.
(I add one soon to share and show)
