"2) a linked image where the image is the ONLY thing within the link, in which case the alt text should describe the destination of the link, not the contents of the image. I just recently learned this, but it makes sense when you think about it. "
Yeah. Good stuff. Thx.
p.s. Best I can tell most images are decorative. That is, they are there for the visual appeal, to create "white space", etc. It's fairly rarely they actually contain content. Of course, there are exceptions, but in general.
I agree! I work on a marketing team and it’s interesting to hear the conversations about what is and isn’t decorative. Are brand elements decorative? Generally yes, but on a marketing site, aren’t those half the point? At which point does that make them informative?
It can be frustrating to sit in meetings where people go back and forth about this stuff. But at the end of it all, any meeting where people are constructively discussing accessibility is a win for me.
