Most images have cold colors, big text, a commanding script or they just entail something much bigger than us, and this is what makes us want to know more.

For this image that capturing substance is the colors, placement, and size of the things in the photo.

    Normally, a painted desert scene and a horse sculpture don’t have very many things in common, if at all. In Passover, Dennis Blagg has created a stunning and realistic painting.

    Imagery is another tool an author can use to grasp the reader’s attention. The short story Just Lather That’s All by Hernando Tellez makes great use of imagery. For instance a powerful example of this would be when the barber was imagining the amount of blood that would be on his hands if he gave in to killing captain Torres. “And the blood would keep inching along the floor,” this phrase perfectly captures how the author wants the reader to feel.…

    They say a picture is worth a thousands words I agree with that a picture can say a lot to the viewer, same thing with a painting. The photograph and painting I chose to write about is about Queen Elizabeth. The photograph of Queen Elizabeth was taken in 1952 by Beatrice Johnson and it shows Queen Elizabeth wearing a beautiful crown,a yellow patterned dress, with a sash, and diamond jewelry. In the picture the queen has a slight smile not showing any teeth because, it’s a type of picture where it’s taken serious. What I mean by that is she is someone that is well known and that photograph shows her royalty and her importance by wearing her crown.…

    Foundation Before Density In Scott McCloud’s graphic essay, “Show & Tell”, McCloud uses an appreciable combination of words and images interchangeably to convey clear and comprehensible thoughts, He establishes better, more understood, literature by depicting images directly alongside pieces of text. Evidently, pictures are an associative mechanism that enables newcomer and experienced readers to make visual connections to text they normally would not conclude to by only analyzing and interpreting words (McCloud). Moreover, aside from images allowing readers to make connections, illustrations are particularly crucial components in literary works because they can convey coherent messages all on their own. In all, visual depictions in literature…

    The two most prominent Elements of Art in my photo, Orca Tail in Alaska (2016), are the elements of color and texture. The coloring of the overall image is excellent with beautiful blues hues in the water and peaceful greens in the forest. The value of these hues are as mentioned before pretty bright giving a very joyous and soothing feeling to the observer. The intensity of the element is high making the colors appear bright and strong. This high intensity is one of the reasons the element color is so prominent in the image and thus why I selected it.…

    The medium that I choose to convey my visual argument was a website. My argument was that police officers should be required to wear body cameras because they have helped in citizens get off, they are more beneficial then harmful, and the body cameras could prevent future instances of police brutality.

    I believe ReadyMade magazine initially was too focus on the investors and advertisers. Even though they were trying to seek advertisers with the same vision and trend setting culture as the magazine, seems like they were not given priority to their target market. The magazine targeted consumers who were DIYs (do-it-yourselfers) and who were interested in creativity and design. At later time, they may have shifted to demographic segmentation strategy, which segments markets by age, gender, income, ethnic background and family life cycle. (Lamb, Hair, McDaniel, 2013, pp. 275).…

Two particular chapters explain why O’Brien felt the way he did and why he wrote the book.…

    In John Berger’s book Understanding a Photograph, he argues that there is a distinct discontinuity between an individual viewing a photo, and the actual photo. A picture solely preserves a single moment in time, and while they often act to tell a story, the medium cannot be fully interpreted without knowing the story that surrounds it. Although there is a definite connection between a photograph and the narrative that corresponds with it, the photo is only a visual aid for the story; it does not tell us everything like the written piece does. I agree with Berger’s argument that photographs can shape the written story that is told about a single character through invoking various responses, emotions, feelings, and interpretations between the…
