hi we use alt only when our picture does not show up the alt message that you put will show up to inform the visitor what was there . example.

<img src="img/fb.png" alt="fb-logo">

so when a visitor visit your site but the img has an error and will not show up the alt will show up to inform a visitor that here there were fb logo.

i hope this help.
