  1. For Images images where there is explanatory text above the images
    1. In this case the explanation is already above the image, so to avoid redundancy we will use a NULL null alt tag text here. To put in a NULL tagnull alt text, just put double quotes "" into the alt text dialogue box. 
  2. For images that do not have explanatory text above the image
    1. In this case, because the purpose of the image is not adequately described above the image, a descriptive alt tag text should be used. See the "Descriptive Alt Text" portion of section 4.1 in the style guide.
