Mapped pictures: image annotation

Diagramatic pictures allow more focused, tighter commentary on pictures, compared to text or captions outside the picture frame. I’ve long been concerned at how the format of this board seems to enforce a separation of text and image. I’ll be trying out more mapped pictures here and would appreciate good examples of mapped pictures (for thinking about the issue in Beautiful Evidence).

Instead of a mapped picture with direct labels, here’s an impediment visual-verbal encoding:

                     A’ = Anna                                                    Z = Zerlina                     
A” = Alex                           A”’ = Abby
