The Complexity Of Functional Images

There are many different ways to tell a story, but which way is the best? As mentioned by Scott McCloud, young kids read books with many pictures, and as they develop into adults, they read books with less and less pictures, but is this the best way to read stories? There is a better method to read a story, and that method is through comics. In McCloud 's graphic essay "Show and Tell," McCloud proves that through the use of both writing and illustrations in comics, comics are the best form of literature to convey a story. By proving this, McCloud demonstrates how visual representation is very important while conveying a message, as it provides a bigger range of emotion and expression. As humans, we like creativity and emotions and thus, visual representation in communication is important in our society.

In the short story “the Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin and the short story “blue + yellow” by Chris Killen compare in many ways. These two stories use the same literary device strongly such as imagery. Imagery is a literary device in which the author uses words and phrases to paint a picture in the readers head throughout the story. These two short stories are written with very descriptive language to help paint a picture of the occurrences in the story and describe a scene. These two stories also contrast in many ways such as the way they use symbolism as well as the relationships between the characters in both stories.

In chapter six of “Critical Handbook of Children’s Literature” which was written by Rebecca Lukens. Jacqueline Smith, and Cynthia Coffel, plot are known as “Sequence of events showing characters in conflict”. Also, this order is one of the best ways for writers to help readers to understand the story of the each character, which was selected by the writer (p. 141). Narrative order is one of the form that is included in the plot, it is the form that tells the story through following an events by step by step. In addition, there are different type of narrative order, one of them is Chronological Order, then Variations in Narrative Form, and finally the Variations is Representations of Time (Lukens et al, 2012, p. 142). This three types of order have their own form that can help children to read and understand the children’s literature.

Beyond showing facts, diagrams can also visualise imagination. It can change a readers view from a fictional concept into a realistic concept or it can build up an image that is non–existent to demonstrate an idea such as an architectural plan. Although the building doesn’t exist yet, a diagram can aid in picturing how the end product would look. Another example being Harry Potter, a fictional story created by J.K Rowling whereby Harry’s so-called ‘Maurauder’s map’ has been made visual. Having this visual diagram of the map and wizard school, the audience are able to visualise how the designer actually envisioned them. Consequently, by providing the reader with a visual, it leaves them with little to no room for their own interpretation. This shows the visual rhetoric’s of graphic design.

While writing stories it is importing to keep in mind that readers should be able to picture the story in their mind while reading. It is best to use effective ways to explain or describe the point; such as, wording and writing format, in order to grab reader’s attention and interest them.

As we all know, color is the voice for the artist 's sentiment. It makes up the appearance of a picture. Color is the decisive factor in depths of the two-dimensional plane of the artwork, making the viewer feel physically and mentally attracted, or the context of things - the phenomenon the author wants to present. Colors have been around for a long time, but there is not a common definition for colors. And perhaps humans are one of the luckiest creatures that can identify colors. Often, the recipient 's eye knows a myriad of colors and colors that always change based on the relationship between light and perspective. In art, color creates a sense of

Many stories have different styles but the style really define the author’s personality. I read a short story that was had an interesting style. In “The Yellow Wallpaper” the author’s consistent use of visual imagery and diction to create a fluent style.

From the American Born Chinese, the text and image shared the same and exact time to show how many moments from every page of the book about what happened in the story, and how the author and the book can relate something like his experience to the reader. The text and image also affect my reading experience in more entertaining ways of understanding the story and how do I feel about reading the book. For people like the graphic novel, it helps them to read more visually toward them. Also, the text and image of this book American Born Chinese show more like three different story tales. In the end, it actually the one-story headline.

After a discussion in class, the professor and students acknowledged a concise meaning for the definition of theme. The literature class concluded that theme can be defined with three aspects. First, it can be used in the form of being implicit or insinuated. This means it is rarely acknowledged and masked by the author’s words. Second, it can be used as explicit or instantly recognizable. For example, when Silko says that Teofilo is dead, he openly states it in the work. Lastly, the theme is the main idea that the author wants to impress upon the readers through actions of the characters and the setting. For instance, When Leon paints Teofilo’s face he is sharing an action to the audience. However, there must be evidence for this trio of reasons. The audience will find them with the three-C theme. Change, continuity, and creativity are the three implied and explicit elements given by the author. Like a three stranded braid, the three-C theme is

The style of the delivery of the plot is an important aspect of literature. The way in which an author uses narrative is what gives the story substance and life. The plot of any story is just a patterns of events that have a beginning, middle and end. However, the narrative is the medium through which the story is presented and can therefore affect a text and shape the meaning and structure of the plot. The most common form of narrative in literature is the use of a narrator, which is a character that relays the story through written rhetoric.

Illustration is a popular aspect in literature, and can be found in all genres and forms. Although it is sometimes more heavily associated with children’s books – such as illustrated stories, there are large amounts of illustrated work that are designed specifically for an adult audience. Images and text both convey meaning, but they can also compete with one another. Image and text can work to guide the reader on a desired path of understanding, or they can complement each other and allow for a greater understanding. There are a lot of examples of image and text working together, but the medium can be very different. From statues and sculptures with text engraving, paintings inspired by text (or vice versa), prose and verse and illustrations, this relationship is seen regularly in the Romantic Era. This relationship between images and text can be quite complex. Although the use of text and image complement each other and create a deeper understanding and meaning, an image can work to suggest a way of reading a text, therefore limiting the imagination of the reader, and insinuate a certain understanding of a text/story that the reader/viewer may not have come to on their own.

Color plays a prominent role in the visual symbolic sense by providing a meaning, an interpretation, and establishing a tone for

All the artists give people excitement, give a different message to the readers or viewers, and persuade the viewers with different character and different perspective. The cartoon artists want to explain their theories of art in relation to how their beliefs, feeling and motivation are pointed in their art. In ''Tom and Jerry”' the author was trying to attracted the viewer’s two different characters by expression their actions. In this movies, the creator gives a valuable moral to the watchers not just amusement. In graphic format, artists always trying to explain or trying to show movement expression in many different ways to fascinate the readers or the viewers. All the artists always trying to create or present at least one thing new to

Why I prepared a visual: ideas of my undertaking is definitely gained from film "Stranger Than Fiction" which has contained masses of topics consisting of love (romance), human instinct, critic of actual international, all of these dramatic (cinematic) aspects can be associated with our lives within the actual existence that 's complete of adversities specially originated from relationship among people.

One of the most important observations anyone could make while viewing a painting is the artist’s delicate choice and use of colors. In paintings, colors serve two different but equally important purposes. One purpose is to draw attention to the painting, while the other purpose is to display emotions. An artist that understood the importance of color in paintings extremely well was the late talented Vincent Van Gogh. In his painting Café Terrace at Night, Van Gogh incorporates a vast array of colors to arouse emotions from within the audience. In order to assess which colors aroused which emotions two important questions must be answered. What emotions do the specific colors used within the painting give off to the audience? How have the emotions behind the colors been learned through normal human experience over time?
