Morphology

add + some + visual

The meaning 'to include images, graphics, or other visual elements' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'add' (to include/insert) with 'some' (an unspecified amount) and 'visuals' (pictures/graphics). This literal, compositional phrase is common in presentation contexts and mirrors patterns in other languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will understand it.

Etymology

Add some visuals creates a simple picture: imagine a plain slide or page and you add pictures, charts or icons—the visuals—so the idea is easier to see. So, it means to include images or graphics to 'help' people 'understand' or remember information.
