Choose the Right Format:

-
Quality and Resolution:
- Is the image or video high enough resolution for clarity on all devices?
- Check for pixelation or blurriness.
-
Relevancy:
- Does the graphic/multimedia relate directly to the content?
- Will it add value or clarity?
-
Copyright and Permissions:
- Ensure you have the right to use the graphics/videos (royalty-free, Creative Commons, original creations).
-
Accessibility:
- Are alt text descriptions provided for images?
- Is captioning available for videos?
-
Loading Speed:
- Is the file optimized for fast loading?
- Consider compression without sacrificing quality.
-
Color and Contrast:
- Are colors consistent with your brand/style?
- Is there sufficient contrast for readability?
-
Position and Layout:
- Is the layout well-organized?

-
Test Across Devices:

Feedback:
