This sample is a part of Unit 2- Easy-to-understand language
Element 5- Visual presentation of Easy-to-understand language.
The video includes four
different samples of images
following the logic of purposes of images in Easy-to-understand language:
exemplifying,
adding information,
securing comprehensibility
and summarizing information.
Sample 1 is an example of exemplifying.
The text on the left in Easy Slovene
describes a step in a recipe for chocolate balls.
We form chocolate balls with our hands.
The size of one chocolate ball
is compared to the size of a lollipop.
Both photos illustrate the text,
exemplifying the shape and size
of the chocolate balls.
Sample 2 is adding information to the text.
The text that proceeds this illustration
is about a person from the book receiving a letter from the emperor.
The text, however,
does not describe the custom of kneeling before the emperor.
Nor does it describe details in the scene
such as clothes or room decoration.
The reader gets this additional information
from the illustration alone.
Sample 3 illustrates how images help secure
comprehensibility of the written information.
The text describes technical aspects
of securing distance between people in the time of epidemics.
This information can be rather abstract.
The images serve as a visual translation of the written text
and strengthen the comprehensibility.
The last sample summarizes information from the written text.
The text that proceeds this illustration
describes exactly what we see in the picture.
The man is sitting in cold jail,
chained by his neck to a stone trough.
His hands and legs are chained, too.
He is bleeding from a wound on the head,
inflicted by the empress.

Art in samples 2 and 4 is the work of Ciril Horjak,
the artist behind images in an Easy Slovene novel adaptation
Pod svobodnim soncem by Fran Saleški Finžgar
from 2015.
