The challenging task of reviewing the literature for future research can be facilitated by following a set of recommendations concerning different aspects of the process. Similarly, the examination of the picture under consideration can be performed more efficiently when referring to the same steps. Therefore, regardless of the type of object, whether a text or a photograph, its preparation is performed following comparable rules.
The items and their position in the image are well-thought and intended to reflect the author’s general idea. Thus, at first, one sees all of them and, in a few seconds, starts to see the priorities in the location of the plastic flower in front of the singing bowl. This approach resembles the requirement for scholars to narrow a broad topic to effectively convey their messages (Sheperis & Perepiczka, 2017). In turn, it defines the area of interest of the person who arranged the objects in a specific way. Another observation, which is critical for understanding the link between the picture and literature reviews, is the similarity in the process of preparation. Hence, identification of the topic in the latter’s case corresponds to the former’s arrangements, whereas the location of sources correlates with finding appropriate items for the photograph (Sheperis & Perepiczka, 2017). Subsequently, the evaluation of results applies to both situations, and the target product is conditional upon the relevancy of received information to the objectives and suitability for readers or viewers.
To summarize, both the chapter and the picture serve as evidence that any type of work requires proper organization. Therefore, this activity was aimed at tracing the common elements in both examples for clarifying the meaning of preparation. In this way, the results of the examination of the two cases, which are texts and images, prove that research is an integral part of any presentation regardless of the medium used for this goal.
