1. Image Analysis Essay Why I choose this image to work up and do analysis of. Well as a photographer it touches on a theme that I and other photographers must deal with. The idea that someone can get something for free. Just because we are photographers or even a regular artist that we are all just dying for more exposure and are willing to do whatever you want for some "good exposure". I don't think that most folks are all the self–severing, they are just unaware how much time and money goes into producing a good image. And suffer from this misbelief that this is just someone's hobby and not their lively hood. Form the text of "trust me I am a professional Photographer I don't work for free" and with the camera, lens, and SD cards in the middle. It...show more content... Did they feel anger, betrayal, like someone wanted to take advantage of them? This is the main reason that I think the secondary audience was the customer. The attempt to use humor to deescalate the feelings on both sides. In its basic statement this statement on the image is fairly effective. It makes the case in plain language. Although it falls short on the humorous side. It's a blunt object taken upside of the head. Photographers are more likely to take it seriously, but the photographers who need to know it are the younger ones who are more likely to work for free for so called good exposure. As for the ones looking to hire a photographer ether they already know that they are going to pay for the service, or they will get mad and look for another photographer. The explicit message that this image is trying to get across is that the photographer is a professional. For the most part photographers are clean cut with good dress. Many photographers could be dropped into an executive setting. The photographers would look right and appear to belong there. They may not understand what's going on around them, but they would blend into background. Stop and think about it, for a photographer to blend in he must match the dress and general appearance. How many photos are out there of some CEO, corporate type, politics, or some sport star doing something good or bad and a photo got caught them at it. They ...Get more content on HelpWriting.Net...

3. Presentation Analysis Essay examples This memo examines the strengths and weaknesses of my presentation on March 19, 2010. In addition, the memo discusses my goals for improvement in future presentations as well as a review of Aly Sherali's presentation. Presentation Strengths My organization, voice, and passion were all strong points of my presentation. This allowed me to effectively engage my audience and convey my content in an efficient and logical way. Organization Tim Koegel, author of The Exceptional Presenter, explains that there are two essential facets of organizing a presentation: developing a structure that allows you to frame your objective and cover your material smoothly, and looking organized to your audience (Koegel, 31–32). I structured my slides and...show more content... Even if a presenter is the leading authority on a topic, being unprepared can signal the opposite to the audience and cause them to disengage before the presentation even starts (Koegel, 45). I arrived to the venue early, made sure my presentation was easily accessible, and checked to see if my slides worked correctly on the computer. This allowed me to efficiently and confidently lead off my presentation and ensure that I could capture the audience's attention. Voice The voice is a valuable tool to becoming an exceptional presenter (Koegel, 84). I used my voice as an effective asset throughout my presentation. My volume was at an effective level throughout the presentation and sounded confident. I also employed inflection in my voice on key points to maintain audience attention. According to studies, eighty–four percent of the impact you have comes from your voice, not your words. I was very careful to avoid monotone voice, which significantly shortens the attention span of an audience (Koegel, 84). I also took great care to eliminate any "verbal graffiti" as Koegel refers to it. Verbal graffiti is any non–essential "filler" words that distract the audience and dilute your impact (Koegel, 87). I practiced my presentation many times and was confident enough with the material that I did not fill my pauses with any filler words. I stayed focused on my content, which helped my audience to do ...Get more content on HelpWriting.Net...

5. Visual Rhetorical Analysis Essay This photograph, taken in 1967 in the heart of the Vietnam War Protests, depicts different ideologies about how problems can be solved. In the picture, which narrowly missed winning the Pulitzer Prize, a teen is seen poking carnations into the barrels of guns held by members of the US National Guard. This moment, captured by photographer Bernie Boston symbolizes the flower power movement. Flower power is a phrase that referred to the hippie notion of "make love not war", and the idea that love and nonviolence, such as the growing of flowers, was a better way to heal the world than continued focus on capitalism and wars. The photograph can be analyzed through the elements of image as defined by 'The Little Brown Handbook' on page 86. There...show more content... The title, which could act as a form of narration, references the immense power held by this movement. This movement caught media attention and was a monumental part of the counter– culture movement in America. The power of the so called 'flower children' during this time was influential in the advancement of the civil rights movement. This title gives more power to the image and gives it more weight as an iconic image by shedding a positive light on the movement. The arrangement of this photograph is not manipulated which makes its message stronger. Instead, the photograph was captured as the event was happening. This draws attention to the gravity of the impact of these protests. In the article, Preforming Civic Identity: The Iconic Photograph of the Flag Raising on Iwo Jima, there is an emphasis on the importance of this type of arrangement; the description the arrangement of the iconic Iwo Jima photograph is "there is no hint that anyone is preforming for the camera". The authors go on the explain that the lack of acting in the photograph "the image can become a performance of war as a national event. By fusing a moment of military action with a sense of visual transparency, the photograph creates a truth effect; this is the image through which the meaning of war can be seen" (Robert Hariman, John Louis Lucaites 372). This concept can also explain the power of the 'Flower Power' image, and the message ...Get more content on HelpWriting.Net...

9. A Visual Analysis Essay Visual Analysis Vogue Magazine's advertisement plays on the American subconscious and what it means to be attractive. The primary visual element of the advertisement, the centered photograph, focuses on contrast to catch the eye. This concept of contrast does not remain tethered to the visual aspect of the photograph. The ad manipulates understood societal norms and conventions of human perfection to make ad convincing. Vogue Magazine capitalizes on dramatized visual and seductive textual elements to send its message about beauty or attractiveness. This ad attempts to state the beauty ideals of both men and women, but interestingly acknowledges the polar aspects of what American society labels as desirable. The basic story told by this ad expands...show more content... He's skilled, accomplished, wealthy, and literally larger than life. He bares the status as one of the best in a field not many can survive and prosper in. He's adorned in brooding colors and stands suspended in a position of action. His face epitomizes the aggression and power the modern–day warrior. His high status becomes clear to the viewer when the idealistic woman rests within his grasp. All of these desired attributes of masculinity such as strength, power, and prestige are all captured in this snapshot. The man depicts the American ideal. However, the woman he stands coupled with also represents the American ideal, yet she contrast him in every aspect from demeanor to appearance. She's slender, fresh, and seems obliviously carefree. Gisele lacks the rippling muscles and authoritative pose that the athlete has because the American societal position of woman has also remained deeply influenced by the warrior story. The woman doesn't fit into the mold of warrior as her male counterpart did, instead she holds a closer connection to the poised, elegant mold of royalty or noble upbringing. She represents the trophy that men can hope to obtain through hard work and accomplishment. In today's American ...Get more content on HelpWriting.Net...

11. Visual Analysis Example The theme of my painting is the feeling of being lost in thoughts. I choose to paint the image because it describe a girl being confused or lost without showing her face. When people imagine a girl setting in front of a beautiful view like the sunset behind a mountains, they imagine her face relaxed or smiling. However, I wanted the audience to think differently when looking at the painting. The position of the girl with her shoulder crouched down to give the hint that she could be thinking or looking at the water. Adding the ocean with the waves could describe the girl thoughts or it could simply show that the ocean makes the girl think clearly. I choose the ocean because it's my favorite view to go when I'm feeling down. I added the view...show more content... I choose oil painting as media for my painting because I like colors I could create with it. When I choose the colors of the sunset, I had to make the main source of light was coming from the sunset. I used yellow orange color on the green mountains to reflect the colors of the sunset to show the distance of the mountains and to add texture. Adding trees to the mountains added texture to the mountains and made them standout. I choose to have the color of the water reflected from the sky colors. I also added a hind of green to show reflection of the trees. The waves of the ocean have a similar light shade of the sunset which created a peaceful view on the eye. With choosing brown as the color of the rocks surrounding the girl balances the composition of the main rock that the girl sitting on. Also, by having part of the main rock under the water, it draws more attention to girl. Drawing the girl with warm colors to make her the main focus in the painting makes her the first thing that draw the viewer eye. Color plays a big part on emotional effect similar to the painting "The Scream" by Edvard Munch. Although, my painting is not showing the face of the girl, I feel like the choosing of the colors is similar. In The Scream, Edvard Munch uses orange, red, and blue to draw the sunset. Also, he give the water a reflection of the sky. The difference between his painting and my painting, I ...Get more content on HelpWriting.Net...

13. Art Analysis Essay Though most works of art have some underlying, deeper meaning attached to them, our first impression of their significance comes through our initial visual interpretation. When we first view a painting or a statue or other piece of art, we notice first the visual details – its size, its medium, its color, and its condition, for example – before we begin to ponder its greater significance. Indeed, these visual clues are just as important as any other interpretation or meaning of a work, for they allow us to understand just what that deeper meaning is. The expression on a statue's face tells us the emotion and message that the artist is trying to convey. Its color, too, can provide clues: darker or lighter colors can play a role in how we...show more content... The Stele depicts a simple scene: a seated man and standing woman behind him stare blankly straight ahead. A woman standing on the left looks down upon them. All of them are ordinary humans. They are not gods or goddesses. They are private people. Their clothing is plain, consisting of simple robes. It is representational of a regular family mourning the loss of one of its members, a scene that most people, even today, are able to relate to hundreds or even thousands of years later. The stele conveys a solemn forlornness that can be seen in the figures' faces. Their mouths are tightly shut; their eyes gaze blankly ahead. The woman on the left stares ahead with little emotion on her face. The stele does not depict any motion. All of the figures are standing (or sitting) still, in quiet memorial. This solemnity adds to the emotion of a grave where the stele once stood. There is no real clear answer as to who is being mourned. Are the seated man and the woman mourning the loss of their daughter, on the left? Or is the woman on the left mourning the loss of a father? The sculpture's ambiguity also adds to the emotion that it evokes. It might even be appropriate for its purpose. Its function was to mark a gravesite – the site of the body of someone who has died. Death is one of the most complex parts of life. It is the most ambiguous, for nobody knows for sure what happens in death.

In general, three of them have broad, open smiles while the other three display a closed lip smile thereby appearing to be slightly more reserved. Without exception, the entire group demonstrates a twinkle in their eyes, indicating a shared sense of humor. A further indication of the many laughs this group has shared can be seen in the laugh lines crisscrossing their faces in the exact same places.

"We know moms struggle to get their kids to eat well, and we believe our message provides a reminder that the taste of Hidden Valley Ranch has the power to encourage kids to eat their vegetables" ("New Hidden Valley Ad"). A recent study at the University of California shows that kids ate 23 percent more vegetables when paired with a moderate amount of ranch dressing ("New Hidden Valley Ad"). This visual advertisement published in multiple target advertising markets such as the June 2008 volume of Good Housekeeping periodical targets parents, especially moms, who worry about their children's diets, constantly struggling to get their kids to eat enough vegetables (Hidden Valley). Hidden Valley uses a common photography strategy in the advertisement known as encapsulation. "Encapsulation is a classic technique used to hijack your visitor's eyes and create a tunnel vision effect, preventing your eye from wondering somewhere else in the photo" (Gardner). Hidden Valley creates the picture in a way that makes you look at the ranch being used on the broccoli, almost as if making your eyes focus in on that particular spot. The ad uses association to connect the viewer to the message of the ad.

The advertisement is overall plain and simple; it gets straight to the point when you look at it and utilizes a dark theme.

The way the advertisement is able to do this is through the use of an optical illusion, use of text and the use of negative space.

The third way the advertisement tries to evoke a sense of "parental guilt" into a parent is by utilizing negative space. All the content in the advertisement is surrounded by dark space, the background is all black. The negative space creates a sense of fear in a parent that if you smoke your child will fade away into the blackness. The negative space also evokes a sense of danger in a parent, like something is going to grab their child and pull them away from them if they keep smoking. Overall the advertisers who created this advertisement did a very good job. Through the use of an optical illusion, use of text and the use of negative space it sold the abstract emotion of "parental guilt" effectively.

21. Sculpture Analysis Example Sculpture Analysis My sculpture is portrayed of a green turtle coming back to shore with his foot and head damaged by a piece of fishing net that pierced it's skin. With a bit of imagination you visualize a turtle trying to escape from fishing net and getting his mouth hooked by the fishing net. This would put the turtle through unbelievable pain and possibly make the turtle suffer enough so that it dies. The sculpture is based on one of the lucky turtles that did survive, though it has horrific injuries. In the real world this turtle is not only one of many turtles, but one of the few turtles that survive. This sculpture represents how careless we are for our environment and the marine ecosystem and wildlife. Not only are we polluting, but we are slowly damaging the environment, with all the creatures in it, including us. Each time you throw away a piece of plastic or rubbish without proper disposal it makes a tiny impact on our environment. Not enough to destroy it in itself, but something. With people thinking this, they become even more carefree for the environment, but there is a catch to what we throw away. It may only make a small impact but countlessly people litter and throw away their rubbish. If so much littering and pollution is caused in our environment there will be a big impact with every small piece of rubbish contributing to it.
