Let's say you are reading an interior magazine. There should be tons of photos of living room, kitchen, balcony, furniture, garden, lights and lumps, plants, roof, kid's room, dining room, bath room, architects and designers who made them, and so on. You will see the detailed explanation on each of them beneath the photos and also outstanding headlines that tells you what the article features and appeals for you. 

What if, all these words of explanation disappear from the photo? You'll see a finely designed wooden arm chair, but you will have to guess what you can understand from the photo. It's like looking at many photos shown by your friend who took them in the vacation and tells you "Isn't it great?" while you are trying to figure out what's great with the scenery. It may be annoying in a way but sounds fun. 

We tend to depend on the printed words and likely to be satisfied with the information from them. Written information is the important factor of the media but sometimes it might be enjoyable to take time to appreciate and imagine the meaning of visual information itself.
