For the analysis I have chosen a news article from the CNN website, it is called “Cute or creepy? This toy lets babies post selfies on Facebook”.
The article is about Laura Cornet – an Eindhoven Design Academy graduate, who is annoyed by the constant posts with pictures of babies and newborns in her Facebook news feed. Thus, she puts forward an idea that parents do not consult with their kids before posting their photos; there is no agreement between them, and actually, they have no right to do this. As a result, Laura Cornet creates a toy that gives an opportunity ...

Throughout the process of investigating the notes can be used as references.

(Becker 2009)

Chapter Analysis

This chapter begins with interior monologue/meditation of one Walt Whitman, who tries to distinguish between beauty and ugliness, valuable concepts and useless ones; from the annals of cultural heritage. Then, he finds it unnecessary to try to establish the differences highlighted above unless they are necessary. He then resorts to accept the actual reality of the American experience.
There was a purported cultural revolution, which was to happen in 1855, archived in the book leaves of grass first edition. However, the much-anticipated revolution did not take place because it is virtually impossible for anyone single poet to change the ...

Victims of Violence

Photographs portray deeper messages than written stories hence have over time become the major methods journalists use to ensure their stories stick. Pulitzer Prizes are given to journalists who have the most gruesome photographs. Readers ethically get repulsed by such images despite the fact that they really want to know what happened.

The usage of different filters, as one of the main ways of bettering a photograph, kills photography as art. The author of the article stated that modern photographers would never be able to create something original and unique because they ...

Abstract

Photography is more a form journalism than art. It is these pictures that are used to influence the way people think in life. As a form of art, pictures would not be able to influence people’s thoughts and ideas but would instead be a source of amusement. I would care if I realized that the photo in a magazine or newspaper had been manipulated. Unfortunately, few are the times that one realizes of any manipulation in a picture. However, in the case that I came to realize of any manipulation, I would have a lot of questions left unanswered, such as, why the publisher ...

The cover of the February 2014 edition of Vanity Fair was a real head turner for me. It featured the Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon flanked by two bikini clad ladies. This cover stood out from the humdrum crowd of magazine covers peppered with words and some male or female model looming large. This basic template is also followed by Vanity Fair but nonetheless it is attractive especially to the metro-sexual and the chic and happening crowd. What makes it attractive to this hip crowd is the mention of Jimmy Fallon along with the promise of discussing the really attractive ...

For my narrative reflection and journey into a visual experience I chose to visit the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. It exhibited many pieces I was able to connect to McCloud’s theories about closure and visual literacy (6). Certain pieces stood out more than others, inanimately, but somehow speaking to me. Collections spoke, punctuated, and ended themselves as comics do with direction, icons, and framework. McCloud’s philosophy on our sense of self in relation to what we see around us was also very present during my excursion (10). I saw myself differently depending on what exhibit I ...

Most hospitals have chapels where relatives, friends, and patients themselves can come to. Here they find peace of mind, pray to God, and hope that the experience puts ...

A picture is worth a thousand words, definitely pictures can express human thoughts, emotions and dreams that can never be uttered by the lips.

On the other hand, a Frenchman named Joseph Niepce took the first permanent photograph in 1827 (Madgwick, 28).

The first photograph shows five young boys frolicking in the cold. One boy is flailing his arms and one can almost imagine him moving his legs in an animated way. His jacket is much too big for him. The central shot of the photograph is centered on a younger boy, dressed in a hoodie and appears to have been hit with a snowball with some remnants of snow still visible. He is cold and shivering, but the subjects of this photograph seem immune to the cold, as is typical of youngsters.

Chuck Close’s “Frank”: Everyman as Art

The late author Douglas Adams said that art is holding a mirror up to the Universe – although he then pointed out that there was not a mirror big enough, since the Universe was infinite in size. So what’s an artist to do? American artist Chuck Close brings that mirror down to size by making his subject huge. In “Frank” (1969), a grey-toned acrylic painting of a black-and-white photograph, an everyday man becomes a monumental work of art. Close shows that the everyman is just as valid a subject for art than classical themes or the upper class.
It has only been very recently ...

Modern trends in photography are the logical development of ideas and aspirations that we see in the works of artists of the IX – XX centuries.
