How it's used

It implies that the visual elements are not just decorative but effectively complement the written information. While it sounds slightly formal, it is perfectly acceptable in office settings or when reviewing creative work.
Examples
This magazine is rich in both text and illustrations, and the content is very substantial.
Related words
Common phrases
to produce something with both text and illustrations
Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe a simple picture with a short caption, as it implies a more substantial balance between the text and the images. It is specifically for works where both components are high quality and integral to the message.
