Hello,
We have a rather complex infographic<https://www.sbctc.edu/colleges-staff/it-support/ctclink/governance-framework-flowchart.aspx> on a new web page that needs to be described for those who can't see it. (Heck, it needs to be described even for those who can see it! ). My question is this: should the description attempt to describe the graphic itself with the information in it, or just be a narrative of the information behind the graphic as if the graphic did not even exist? I lean towards the latter, but am wondering how others handle these sorts of graphics.

Thank you
