The Visual Expression of Opinion

 

Photos:  Can Express Views or Editorial Opinions

·       Staged  (Iwo Jima)

·       Echo a Previous Image (9.11)      

·       Use Angle or Perspective  (Elian Gonzalez)

·       Use context:  Flattering/Condemning (People, etc.) 

·       Use Alteration:  Politician’s head on a thin body

 

Political Cartoons:  Rely on Intellectual & Emotional Impact

·       Use symbolism, exaggerations, and caricature

·       Use humor (satire)

·       Use irony (what appears to be portrayed vs. what is)

 

Op-Ads:  Market Opinions Rather than Products

·       Action-oriented:  They encourage the viewer to act
