Sorry for the click bait title - I just wanted to share this interesting screenshot.
Below is a screen shot overview of a Dovetail tender document. I was interested to see how many images we use: 70 in this case. This is pretty typical of a Dovetail proposal. The pictures include such things as examples of previous work, suggested approaches for the project under discussion, UML diagrams and some of our corporate bonafides.
The images aid clear communication (one of our corporate values) and they also break the text up to make the document more approachable. And the proof is in the pudding - we won this particular tender :)
So if a picture really is worth a thousand words then this tender document contains 70,000 due to the images alone, and 17,523 that we wrote, giving a whopping total of 87,523!
