Dark images

The image above, is the official movie poster for the 2008 film “The Dark Knight” released months in advance to accumulate interest in the live action version of the famous gotham hero Batman. It was designed by BLT Communications for the 2000s reboot of Batman and is the second film in the “Dark Knight” trilogy from the Warner Bro. production company. The movie poster depicts a dystopian society through both imagery and diction. As you can see at the very top of the poster reads “Welcome to a world

The dark images of poison and disease are portrayed throughout the story of Hamlet, and follower the corruption surrounding the recent and future events of the castle. The poison with which Claudius had murdered King Hamlet spreads in a sense throughout the country, until "something is rotten in Denmark", as Marcellus notes (I.4.90). Shakespeare shades in words of sickness continually during the play, possibly helping best to exemplify the ill condition of matters plaguing not only Denmark, but the

Photographs capture time and create meaning. Mark Klett’s “Under the Dark Cloth”, is a simple, yet compelling piece of art which captures his experience in Monument Valley, Arizona on May 27th, 1989. The perspective of the photograph is strategic in allowing the viewers to see from Klett’s point of view. This angle places the viewer in the first person, connecting them directly to the image. Images of landscapes are often engrossing, Klett’s piece does this on two planes. In the text, Visual Methodologies

everything when it comes to art; it sets the mood and tone of the entire piece. Both Afghan Girl, a colored 20 by 24 inch cibachrome photograph by Steve McCurry, and The Roaring Lion, a black and white 10⅞ by 8½ inch photo by Yousuf Karsh, are iconic images that grabs the audience’s attention through glaring eyes.

right, to the furthermost left of the image. The colors seem varied and dark, contrasting the coats of the individuals with the stark white bags, and the intrusive bright colors of the billboard, this creates a contrast in the mood of the apparent glee of the billboard, with the traumatic expressions of the individuals. Although black and white, the image uses a wide range of light and dark, going from the bright white of the bags and billboard, to the deep darks of the coats and few of the glum faces

The light spills out from the center, behind a dark circle, and traces the length of the pointed arms of the starburst. The light is bright, and allows for the viewer to see enough of the surrounding area to deduce that it sits upon wooden panels of a building, but the edges of the photograph are still

“Unflattening”. The saying implies that images are able to speak volumes, more than words could ever express. Images convey different messages to people and in doing so evoke thoughts and emotions that words often cannot. Individuals interpret images based on their own ideas and experiences, therefore an image can be seen in many different perspectives creating diverse meanings from one single image. Since there are so many different perspectives it is easy to see how Sousanis images can convey several different

A smaller f/stop is good for taking a picture of something that needs to be accented.The blurring of the background gets rid of distractions from the background and helps the viewer focus on the subject of the image. Shutter speed is another factor that affects the outcome of your photo. Shutter speed controls motion blur along with the amount of light that is let into the camera. When taking a picture of an object in motion different shutter speed will cause

Visual Analysis 2: Context Moves Meaning Images are prominent everywhere in our world today, and are interpreted by each person who views them in a differing way. The reason individuals may view an image in a different way has to do with the context that it is viewed in. The context does not necessarily change the signs that an image displays, but instead leads to different signifiers and conclusions that can be drawn from those same signs. The drastic change that a different caption on the same

photographers’ styles have evolved. The art of photography seems very simple today, all that is needed is a small device in one’s pocket, but 200 years ago that was not the case. Merriam-Webster defines photography as, “the art or process of producing images on a sensitive surface by the action of light” (Merriam- Webster 480). This process took a lot of steps to be discovered. As
