Figures
Graphs, charts, maps, drawings, collages, images and photographs are all examples of figures. If you use figures in your assignments you need to include a caption below the figure.
Figure 1. Pie chart of the survey results. Respondents were asked whether or not they liked the sauce known as "monkeygland sauce" as eaten at restaurants in Zimbabwe.
In the caption, if the figure is not your own, you will need to state where you found it, for example:
Figure 2. Photograph of the crowds during market day. Adapted from Some thoughts on Zimbabwe (p. 26) by A. N. Other, 2008, Singapore: Fantasy Books.
Note: no need to add this citation to your Reference List.
For a collage of images, give the source of each image in the caption, separated by a semicolon:
Figure 3. Collage of four photographs arranged to represent the Mazoe brand. Adapted from Some thoughts on Zimbabwe (p. 38, p.76) by A. N. Other, 2008, Singapore: Fantasy Books; More thoughts on Zimbabwe (p. 46) by A. N. Other, 2009, Singapore: Fantasy Books; Other thoughts on Zimbabwe (p. 26) by A. N. Other, 2010, Singapore: Fantasy Books.
