In this black and white image there are two puppies with their snouts pocking out from a cage. They appear to be sad and not well taken cared of. The clear message behind this picture is to promote animal rights, and possibly to go adopt or to donate to some organization, like the Humane Society. The fact that the creator chose to portray this as black and white shows how they wanted to show a depressing feeling to the viewer so they would be prompted to help out these sad animals. It creates a depressing atmosphere in order to make the audience compelled to help the cause. Due to the lack of symmetry present in the photo it also conveys the un orderly situation that some of these animals could be in, as well as the help that they so desperately needs.  Also whats more heart breaking than one sad puppy? How about two? It causes the sadness in the picture to multiply and causes the audience to fell double the sympathy. Another device used is how the creator emphasizes the puppies. Because the puppies are placed in the middle, we focus on them and the fact they are not in the best situation and that if we want to to take the pups out of these painful and heartbreaking situations, that we the people need to do something about it.

In this image, a polar bear is standing on a small piece of melting ice surrounded by several other melting ice caps. The intent of this image is to reveal the destructive effect global warming has on animals’ habitats, particularly antarctic mammals. The photographer uses the design strategies of color, texture, and figure and ground relationship. Through color, the author displays the stark contrast between the diminishing white ice caps and the surrounding vast blue ocean, which emphasizes the severity of the problem. Using texture, the author captures the lumpy ice patch which should be as smooth as its counterparts: the sky and the water. Instead, the fluffy piece of land signifies the melting terrain which will soon merge with the ocean as a result of the increasing climate. Finally, utilizing the figure and ground relationship, the photographer showcases the imbalance between the polar bear, stranded to a single ice cap, and the rest of the arctic ocean surrounding it. All of these design strategies are employed to call attention to the grave impact of global warming on nature and other organisms.

This image is of a baby with advertisements all over itself. The author this image wanted to show how much advertisement has been affecting the youth even  at an infant age. The author wanted to convey the negative aspects of how much advertisement we are exposed to from the day we are born onward. By using Unity and variety, the designer makes the different advertisements work together to show one message while having emphasis on the child. I noticed that the designer included all sorts of advertisement, from food, clothing, technology, and magazines. The message being directly conveyed is that we are walking billboards for companies when we wear their products or use them out in public. The designer wants to indirectly show that we are paying companies to advertise their own products which is contradictory. In addition, the author uses a smooth texture that makes the logos appear as if they were apart of the bay to show how closely knit we have become to these products. The smile on the babies face in contrast to the rest of the logo covered bodies shows how people remain unaware of how much of a walking advertisement they have become.

In this visual, New York firefighters raise an American flag amidst the devastation of Ground Zero after the events of 9/11.The purpose of the image is to emphasize the strength of the American spirit during hard times such as 9/11. Seeing the firefighters raising the American flag elicits feelings of hope and patriotism that still prevail after the catastrophic events that unfolded and shook our nation. This image uses Figure and Ground Relationship with the firefighters with the flag being the focus among the rubble surrounding them; this emphasizes maintaining the American spirit among any devastating event. Moreover, this image also uses emphasis by including the phrase “true grit” in bold, capital letters on the front cover. Similar to how sentences are placed in certain places in writing, this phrase is placed within the photo to emphasize the epitome of what these brave firefighters are representing and communicating to the world. Also, the only colors among the dim grayness of the dust being red, white, and blue further conveys a patriotic mood.

The photograph above depicts a miniature robot made of even smaller Amazon boxes, and the robot is giving a pink flower to a tiny glass frog on the open, clear ground. There is blurry, green grass in the background that is just as tall as the box robot. The robot and frog are looking at each other intently with apparent youthful curiosity. The creator’s intent of this image is to evoke feelings of adoration and love for the adorable box robot. It is possible that an underlying purpose of the image is to advertise and promote amazon delivery services by subconsciously showing the wonderful things one can do with Amazon boxes. The emphasis is put on the flower held by the robot as the center and focus of the image is the flower, which serves the purpose of focusing on the robot’s giving characteristic. It also evokes a pleasant, warm feeling from the generous, giving nature of the robot. Figure and Ground Relationship
is employed through the fact that the foreground is put in focus and zoomed in so that the background is blurred and cannot be discerned without some analysis and reasoning. This makes the robot and frog seem much bigger than they actually are, and it provides the effect of giving them more significance as it is not easy to tell that the robot is even smaller than a person’s hand. The smooth textures of the robot and the frog adds to the youthfulness of these characters, and the sharp, crisp edges of the boxes makes the robot seem like a bold, strong being. These enhancements of the appearances of the characters in the image make them seem simple and lovable as they appear to be innocent about the dangers of reality in the world.

Formal Analysis

In this image, I see unity and strength in the face of adversity. I see a possible family of three holding onto each others’ hands as they seek refuge from being hosed down by what is assumed to be the authorities. I can make this assumption because this picture was taken during the Civil Rights Movement.The purpose of this photograph is to evoke a sense of sympathy for the people that were treated inhumanely simply because of the color of their skin. There are many visual strategies in this visual. Firstly, unity can be seen by not only the way the family is staying together hand-in-hand as they seek safety, but also by having a uniform background of a semi-blurred sea of people. Emphasis is placed on the family by capturing them in the forward ground with a larger scale. The whiteness of the water coming towards the family helps create contrast in order to put more focus on the family. The repetition of the the three trees correlates with the the three members of the family. This brings a sense of balance to the picture and perhaps represents the family being able to stand tall through this difficult time. In terms of color, even though black and white was the only option during that time period, it helped to de-emphasize the chaotic background to again bring focus on the subject of the image which is the family. The texture of the grass is clear in the light, but the detail of the texture fades as it gets closer to the subject bringing depth as well as emphasis to the family once again. In all, the photographer was able to capture the moment of a single family that viewers could now empathize with.

In the smoking image, the feet of a dead body are shown with a toe tag that states “smoking kills.” The feet of the body seem to have young, soft, and healthy texture, which intend to elicit a response of pensiveness about how smoking affects young teenagers. The young feet seem to display that this life was taken unnecessarily due to the the use of cigarettes. The designer used mostly white and black for the image, indicating a serious tone that is not to be distracted by vibrant colors. The only color is red, which mimics a Marlboro cigarette pack with the black text “smoking kills” replacing the name of a the cigarette brand. The red color seems to allude to blood and death in order to make the audience understand the gravity of the situation. Most of the image seeks to evoke an emotional response as the audience would feel sympathy and sadness for the death of this person while the designer juxtaposes statistics to also appeal logically to the audience. The white text with the black background again supports the tone of solemnity and reflection. The symmetry of the image indicates the breadth of the smoking problem as it evenly affects people all over the place, and the emphasis on the feet shows the effect that smoking has on humans. This emphasis of human feet develops the purpose of deterring people from using cigarettes in order to improve their health.

This powerful photo of a Hutu man in Rwanda was mutilated by the Hutu ‘Interahamwe’ militia for being a suspected systematization with Tutsi rebels. The image utilizes emphasis, depicting the man in front of a stark, blank background in black and white, thus allowing the man and his scars to make the statement. The lack of color coneys a somber and despairing tone that evokes a sense of pity for the mutilated man. The simple picture evokes an intense emotional reaction. The image conveys a woeful tale, one of darkness, violence and what it leaves behind. It calls attention to the horrific injustice of human suffering through the emphasis of the scars on the man's face. The image additionally conveys the photographer’s purpose, to open the public’s eye to the horrors that happen in the world in hopes to shape public opinion and facilitate protest to injustices through the lack of color to suggest severity and the intense focus on the man scars.

In this image, a little boy is upset and hurt by the words of other that make him emotionally feel pain. The little boy is crying and it looks like he is looking at the person that is using hurtful words towards him. The purpose behind this image is to inform bullies and people that use harsh words that it does hurt others' feelings. Hateful words may not provide physical pain, but they do contribute to emotional pain. The image conveys the idea that words can be just as powerful and painful as getting choked. The image consists of strategies such as emphasis, contrast, and color. The emphasis is placed on the hand that is perceived as choking the little boy, full of hateful words and phrases. The emphasis is also placed on the boy's face and eyes filled with tears, displaying his fear and sadness. The black and white color of the hand represents the darkness and hatred of those hurtful words on the hand, contrasting with the color features of the little boy that display his human-like emotions. Also, the hateful hand is meant to stand out as it placed in front of the little boy. The sentence next to the little boy helps to explain the image and serves as a warning for the effects of bullying through hateful language.

The message in this ad is something that particularly rings true with me. Being that I grew up in era where advertisement is one of the biggest business
entire world, I have been greatly affected by the constant bombardment from huge brands about how I should only choose "the best".Even today, I still cannot wear a pair of Adidas shoes because of the fierce loyalty to the Nike brand that has been built through the advirtisment. The texture especially on the baby is something that resounds in me because my brand biases and brand loyalty is something that is almost apart of me, and something that will stay with me for the rest of my life. The contrast in the color of the ads when compared to the babies skin helps emphasis the ads and help show how much they have impacted the baby. The baby itself contrast with the black background behind it, placing the baby itself in the center of attention. The image is designed to evoke a response in the reader and make them really consider if the advertisements that we are constantly exposed to are hurting us and slowly brainwashing us to think a different way or controlling us to want specific brands.

Because the boy is African American and he has a very serious facial injury, the audience can assume that the boy was a slave.The scar tells the audience all about the horrors and abuse that the child has been through.Because the contract in between the white background and the boy and the emphasis that is put on him by putting in the center of the image, your eyes immediately drift towards the scar and it left me feeling sick and horrible about the child.The asymmetry and texture on the scar also makes the injury seem even more grotesque and makes it stand out more. By doing this, the scar evokes even more sympathy from the audience.The boys hand that is around his neck and chocking him represents the chocking and oppression the feeling of being trapped, something that he must feel after having such. big wound on his face.The image evokes pathos in the reader because the scar evokes enormous amount of sympathy in the reader due to his horrible injuries.The image itself relies on a large amount of shock value, and it leaves a powerful impact on the reader.

The photographer utilizes multiple rhetorical strategies in order to drive evoke strong anger and sorrow from the audience, as the photo reminds the public of the injustices and malaise that exist in our world. The photo alone truly paints a thousand words, and his wounds and scars tell a whole story. The morose color choice, similar to diction, sets the tone and intent of the photo right away. The contrast of the Rwandan man with the empty wall behind him, contributes to a emphasis on the man's pained expressions and his protruding scars. The appeal to pathos intentionally evokes wide-eyed surprise, rectified anger, and thoughts such as "no human deserved to be treated this way."
