## What counts as a good image

Please pick images that have people, objects, and/or landscapes. You could also pick visualizations or memes, but please do not pick pictures of text or screenshots of conversations.

## What counts as a good video?

Again, please pick videos that have people, objects and activity. Please do not pick videos that contain only scrolling text. YouDescribe has a good [request list](https://youdescribe.org/wishlist) for you to pick from!
