The symbolisms greatly have an impact on the suspense in each story. Gilman uses wallpaper to symbolize some sort of text she must interpret and believes it affects her in some way directly. “There are things in the wallpaper that nobody knows about but

Alice Paul was a strong willed woman who would not stop for anything in order to secure equality for both women and men. She was a common person like most and therefore related to many of those around her. Although she was raised in a wealthy family, she faced the death of family member and even discouragement of the public for voicing her thoughts. Despite these setbacks, she never stopped fighting for her cause. Even at a young age she was raised and taught that women and men were equal. After college, she went to Europe and learned military publicity skills to help earn women’s right to vote. Her mission did not stop with that; she continued to fight for her beliefs. Alice Paul's ultimate goal was to earn

Although books full of words are more efficient in delivering and describing what the author feels, sometimes pictures can give a deep meaning depending on how they are organized. The Veil by Marjane Satrapi’s is a graphic novel that’s organized in a particular way, to deliver a certain message through the pictures. Marjane includes different sizes and frames that serve what she is thinking and feeling. Choosing certain sizes, frames and colours isn’t arbitrary. As each box increases in size, it means that she wants to emphasize the message behind that box, or show her relation to that particular text. Contrast is also one of the main elements that Marjane uses in her graphic novel. For example, on page five, there is a big picture of

Distinctively visual texts aim to manipulate the we perceive images critically affecting our interpretation of events and people we meet in our lives. Distinctively visual techniques are utilised in the ‘Run Lola Run’ directed by Tom Tykwer and the picture book ‘Red Tree’ written by Sean Tan. The way the distinctively visual is shown throughout these texts is through the use of motifs, different angle shots, colours, lighting and reading paths. These techniques aim to show the important themes in both texts such as time, hope and love.

Betsy and John ran the upholstery shop together for quite a while. In 1775 John joined the get-together of

Distinctively visual texts aim to manipulate the way we explore and interpret the images we see, thus affecting the way we make interpretations of the experiences we encounter and allows us to embody newfound various perspectives of the world.

“People only see what they are prepared to see” is a famous quote by Ralph Waldo. This quote emphasises the fact that the purpose of a text can often be unnoticed and misinterpreted by the viewer. Many people only have a limited world experience, and it’s the Distinctly Visual feature of a text which allows the viewer to gain a better understanding. Distinctly Visual texts use a combination of techniques to create and shape an audience’s point of view or interpretation, and visualising a text requires the responder to interpret all of the images presented.

The ways that they get their idea across: At the start of the portfolio, the artist focuses on a lack of colour, with some occasional, feminine red. This definely fits the early theme of the portfolio, which is the female figure (as it is classical and fine, like black and white, and eye-catching like the colour red). The artist’s discipline area is ceramics, and in the ceramics work she continues to use tones of black and white, however in most of her fine art work (and photography) she does not limit herself to those colours, and rather uses a wide range of both cold and warm colours, creating them with pencil crayons, chalks and more. This is quite effective in showing how the artist is capable of manipulating different materials, similarly to how Miss McKinley showed different materials and discipline areas in her Sketchbook portfolio. This is one of the advantages of a Sketchbook portfolio; it does not have to be as formal and specific as e.g. a Sales Brochure. The images of her work vary in size, but generally fill most of the page. The shape of paper/card that her text is put on also varies in size, and the text varies n font, although mostly looking

The focus of this essay is to explain why the International Typographic Style or “Swiss” style was so important to the mid twentieth century and how it got started. Firstly, it is an art movement that internationally began in the 1950’s, but the origins can be traced back at least thirty years. It can be thought of as a combination of elements from other movements such as Constructivism, De Stijl and the Bauhaus. According to Richard Hollis’ book Swiss Graphic Design, there are “at least three factors that account for the ‘Swiss’ style” (Hollis, R. 2006, P9), these being the country’s location, the language and the culture. There is evidence to prove that there are at least 2 other factors, especially for the origin of the style, which is shown in the book, along with several others. Although not directly linked to the foundation of the style itself, these 2 other factors include the designers and the typography, after all, it is known as the International Typographic Style. In this essay we will be discussing each of them in turn, and explaining views as to why they were important and what effect they had on graphic design in the mid twentieth century.

In this essay I am going to talk about one theme of Modernist, looking at the different views of designers in two different books which are ‘Form Follows Function’ by Susan Lambert from 1993 and the second book is Modernism by Wilk Christopher.
