1) 11.1 is repeated twice. 

2) Logos.
>From our own testing we�ve found it useful to inform readers that they are
viewing a logo. In your example that just says PIP CO, a blind user would not
know if it�s a photo of a pipco, a photo of PIP CO�s building, or a logo. We�ve
found that �Logo: PIP CO� works well in our studies.

3) Distinguishing between illustrations and photographs. 
To us who are sighted, there�s a big difference between seeing a photograph of
something vs. an artist�s illustration. For example, I have on my desk right
now 2 books for identifying birds. One is �Birds of North America� with
illustrations, the other is �The Audubon Society�s Field Guide to North
American Birds� with photos.

In the illustrated version, the artist can make small bird markings more
visible to the reader so that 2 similar birds in a family can be easily
distinguished. But in the photographed version, you see the bird in its correct
color and habitat, but you might not easily see a distinguishing marking.

Essentially, a photo is the �real deal� and an illustration is an artist�s
interpretation.

So it might be helpful to say: �Photo: American Bald Eagle� and �Illustration:
American Bald Eagle.�
