Would you tarnish your reputation for the sake of getting a PhD?

i think the quality of graphics is very important      
i've taken online classes where the lessons were just walls of text  - no illustrations, no powerpoints, no videos, nothing to illustrate the concepts             

very boring classes and very difficult for me to get through

But would graphics be something you'd tell people about? I have many classes without graphics and I'm fine with that. Many of my classes now are designed around reading specific business books and writing papers on them. No graphics needed.
