Caption

 Definition of Caption Text

Caption text is a short text that is used to complete an image. Caption text appears usually under pictures, photos, graphics, posters and even tables.

The short text serves to describe what is in the image. Captions are usually also used to emphasize the content of an article, essay or report. Gramedia has a book entitled Kick Sakti Copywriting on Twitter, Facebook and Blogs written by Jubilee Enterprise, in this book you will be taught to write captions, tweets, statuses, headlines, and much more effectively and efficiently.

Types of Caption Text

Caption text also has several types, namely:1. Identification This type of caption text is usually used to describe or identify everyone in the photo, but does not explain a story. The focus on this type of identification text caption is on clarity.

2. Group Captions Group Captions are usually used to describe multiple images. This caption should have at least two sentences per image and include a quote whenever possible. Group captions must be clear about which image each caption describes.

3. Story-Telling Caption Story-telling captions are the ideal type of caption and can be used whenever possible. This type of caption will tell a story behind the image. Using this type of caption will usually be more interesting to read.
